There's a lesson for Bush in this: Don't wait for a Democrat Governor to ask for help in a situation like this. They don't have a clue what they are doing.

Ever hear of Lawton Childs?

He went ahead without them. He called them twice ahead, they said they had it under control. He went on TV and issued a state of emergency for two of the states and asked for mandatory evac... he stopped waiting for them to do something. FEMA (not in NO) had already met with him on it and they couldn't get in yet. I am telling you neither this mayor (who I heard was really a good guy, but totally out of his element...who knew, I didn't see it) or Blanco had no clue about SOP. After Nagin's rant a reporter asked him if he knew the governor of the state has to ask for assistance... he was totally blank and shocked. Too much.

Democrats: "You f'd up, you trusted us."

Bullseye!!!!!!!!! George HW Bush lost the relection to Clintoon for his handling over Hurricane Andrew in 1992. It was Florida DimocRat Govenor Chiles who never evacuated, asked the NG, or reacted to the storm. He sat and sucked his thumb,spit chew, and scratched his head for a couple days.

By the time he asked the feds for help, it was too late. FEMA and the response team took 2 extra days to arrive and people were going insane and desperate (actually we were behaving quite civilized, even ladylike by NOLA standards.)

The democrats blamed it all on Bush. This Katrina howl is now a repeat performance from their old playbook and it will work to damage all Republicans if YOU let this happen.

In front of me sits the pull-out 2 page flyer on Hurricane Preparedness the newspaper includes nearly every weekend. I suspect that the NOLA citizens and their leaders have been using their Storm Guide Warnings as as butt wipes.
