I have a friend who evacuated from New Orleans; he and his family are safe. He mentioned something to me on the phone Monday that ended up being in someone’s script:
Louisana Senator Mary Landrieu faulted Bush for failing to recognize the severity of the situation when the levees broke, noting that public service announcements featuring the Mr. Bill clay animation character have been warning about such a scenario for two years.
“We know the president said ‘I don’t think anyone anticipated the break of the levee.’ Everybody anticipated the break of the levee, Mr. President,” she said. “How can it be that Mr. Bill was better informed than Mr. Bush?”
That’s simply because Mr. Bill is less of a puppet than Mr. Bush. Of course, all you lefties are going to latch on to this as gospel, and all you righties are going to claim it’s unfair to (1) bash a republican because democrats do that all the time and (2) Bush and his administration are in no way responsible for any of this; it had to be the fault of those who are in the state and city.
Get over yourselves. It was a massive break down from the bottom to the top. You all are culpable.
