Katrina’s political watershed still shedding
December 4, 2005 |
Either you are in charge and responsible for executing the plan to evacuate those in danger or you ceded control to the Federal government. Katrina’s Political Watershed is still shedding its water and long after New Orleans dries out we may find that the politicians in the state are still wet. Perhaps after all the paper chasing is complete they will hang out Blanco and Nagin to dry.
While Blanco’s office wanted to blame the federal government, the documents show that her staff did not want it to appear as if the federal government was seizing state power.
They want to appear in charge but not to be responsible. Perhaps the voters will tire and and hang them to dry. But as all things go I wouldn’t hold my breath until it happens. In the meantime the paperwork will perhaps reach higher than the water level ever reached.
In the meantime, you can read Wizbang and Michelle Malkin
on the red herring about the bombing of the levees according to a man who rode on the Mother Ship.
