To them, Katrina was the result of a hurricane, not faulty levees. Ya, but then you see how the pundits and some politicians take this.

And to be fair, the past administration (under Gov. Blanco) didnt do much to repair them. Gov. Jindal has done pretty well with the hurricane--mostly defaulting to the rulings of the local governments. And, to his credit, he has claimed that Highways will be opened tomorrow to allow private aid into Southern Louisiana--something that didnt happen for 4-5 days after Katrina. Mike,

If they did, wouldn't they have fixed the levees that failed last time? “The story that the politicians and pundits are running with is that the governmental authorities have “learned the lesson” of Katrina, and that FEMA is now fully ready for such disasters.”

Looks like Paul/Goldwater isnt going to make the ballot--unless the Post Office is open Tuesday.
