It was even worse than that.
I saw a live press conference in which she was complaining about Bush doing nothing.
A reporter informed her that it was she who had to ask for the federal help, and that none could be sent without her asking.
For a few seconds she had a real "deer in the headlights" look.
I remembered that clearly, as I thought, this was the last time we would ever see that video, it would be buried by the media.
Again the Bush administration didn’t stick up for themselves in that situation. Didn’t they even pass a law allowing uninvited Federal intervention into the States in the aftermath of Katrina? It was probably all planned by the Democrats.
