What did Mayor Nagin say when Paula Zahn asked him why the entire
city's fleet of transit buses and school buses weren't used to evacuate
people from the city?  Oh, she never asked him. that's right.  Because
it's Bush's fault.  What did Governor Blanco say when Paula asked her
why there weren't enough Guard troops at the Superdome and why she
didn't preposition enough food and water for several days?  Oh, she
never asked her, that's right.  Because it's Bush's fault.

It's all Bush's fault - he should have removed the incompetent mayor
and the incompetent Governor and declared himself Viceroy of Louisiana
for the duration of the hurricane.  He should have moved into the
Governor's mansion the day before the storm, and jailed both Nagin and
Blanco.  He should have then personally seen to it that all those
people who refused to leave the city and went to the Superdome had
their 3 square meals a day, serta comfort-top mattresses to sleep on,
and cable tv to watch.  And when those flood waters started to rise,
Bush should have waved his hand, and parted them like Moses to prevent
the disaster that no one in Louisiana ever thought could possibly
happen.

Yep, all Bush's fault.

Right.

Not.
