And it should be repeated that Ray Nagin is a good Democrat.

I will never understand how the liberals politicized a hurricane and blamed it all on Bush. Ray Nagin is a Democrat. The governor at the time, Kathy Blanco, is also a good Democrat. Local officials normally take the lead in disaster relief efforts when a disaster strikes. Yet somehow, the Democrats blamed everything on Bush and Republicans.

Bush actually declared Louisiana a disaster area the day before Katrina hit, because it was clear that it was an historic storm and damage would be severe.

And, under our laws, the federal government waits for state and local officials to request specific help when disaster strikes.

But none of that matters to the liberals. All that matters is scoring the political points. Which the liberals did, as everyone from the talking heads on TV to the likes of Kanye West blamed racism and Republicans for New Orleans flooding.

I often wonder what the reaction would have been if John Kerry had won the 2004 election, and had been president when Katrina hit. Would the liberals and the media and Hollywood idiots still have blamed Bush; would they still have blamed the federal government for ineptitude if their own guy had been in charge????

Appears they are being niggardly with their justice system.

Bush actually declared Louisiana a disaster area the day before Katrina hit,.....Also Bush begged the Gov. To implement disaster procedures WRITTEN and was put off. I remember an article (long gone now) that Harry Reid called the Governor’s office (at least 50 times) telling her to ignore the Presidents entreaties, they would blame him and will be OK.

Of COURSE they would! That's the power of Bush Derangement Syndrome.
