OK, let's get this out of the way, then we can start pointing the finger at Washington

Steve Gilliard has an excellent deconstruction of the failures of New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco before and after Hurricane Katrina. The Bushofascist Zombie Brigade has been pointing the fingers exclusively at Nagin and Blanco as a means of exonerating their Lord and Savior.

Gilliard is someone with impeccable progressive credentials, and he does a good job of identifying what went wrong on a state and local level.

I have no argument with him.

So now all you Bush cultists -- we've done our part. Now how about pulling the curtain aside and seeing that your guy is a charlatan and a fuckup?
