haven’t found the picture of him in Louisiana, but I will continue to search later.
Gotta go work on my custom truck.
Upon arriving in New Orleans, the president was welcomed by Mayor C. Ray Nagin, who accompanied him aboard a helicopter to the Iwo Jima, which is docked in front of the convention center that became a squalid shelter for thousands of evacuees in the first several days after the storm hit. Aboard the ship, Mr. Bush was greeted by Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad W. Allen, who only days ago replaced the FEMA director as commander of the New Orleans relief efforts, and Lt. Gen. Russel Honore of the Army, who is in charge of military relief efforts along the Gulf Coast.
About an hour after he arrived in the city, Mr. Bush visited the Algiers neighborhood, across the river from the French Quarter, and a tent city set up by firefighters from across the country - including 353 members of the New York City Fire Department - on the campus of Our Lady of Holy Cross College.
Until I see an actual picture, I’ll file that one under “myth”.
All I remember is Bush hugging Brown and saying “Helluva job, Brownie” while hundreds of people slowly drowned in their attics.
