That has to be the worst duo in politics to ever deal with a major natural disaster in this country. One is incompetent and crying instead of making tough decisions and the other is delaying the cities rebuilding process via corrupt backroom business and outlandish chocolate city remarks on national TV.

Add W. and FEMA Brown to the mix, its no wonder that whole fricking month was a disaster.

Louisiana should be ashamed we elected these two.

Eh, it was hung around Bush's neck.

Reality wasn't for shite in 2005 and it sure as hell isn't in 2014.

Yup. Does not matter how abysmally the state and city government failed to prepare, it was all his fault. Still hear that today.

The irony is that C.Ray actually endorsed Jindal for Governor instead of Blanco.

The difference is only half of what the media reported negative about Blanco turned out to be true. (e.g. LINK )

On the other hand, double what the media reported negative about Nagin was true.

Bush wanted Kathy to relinquish all control of state government, especially the state military. She said no.

Kathleen gets a bum rap. Her dry run of contraflow resulted in a million people being successfully evacuated from New Orleans in record time. Contrast that with the two cluster fricks in Houston.

slow down there, ace.

I don't think Louisiana elects the mayor of New Orleans

And while blanco wasn't a great choice, who could have foresaw how badly she would handle that? and she was run-in against a brown fellow

I'm glad ray nagin got his but he is in no way the only corrupt Louisiana government employee to use his position for personal/political gain in the past eight years. BN...JL....LG...CT...BR...BJ...
