Now only if we could stuff Kanye West in there with him.
One of the biggest - and most hurtful - lies in American political history is that W did nothing. W begged Landieu and Blanco to let him in days before landfall to help but they refused out of politics and 1300+ Americans needlessly died.
Slow Karma, but I’ll take it.

Yep. Bush tried to get them to take the federal help.
Of course, Bush was blamed for everything later - including the things that would not have happened if only Blanco and Nagin would have taken fed. assistance.
But, then, we would not have had "Looter Guy".
