I would have to agree with this as well.

Did anyone happen to catch George Bush with Matt Lauer last night? It was interesting what he said about the hurricane Katrina debacle.

He said that in order for him to send in federal troops, he needed to have the Governor's permission, or else he could usurp her authority. It took then Gov. Blanco 2 days to finally ask Bush to bring in Federal troops. Bush wanted to go in sooner, but his thought was, how bad would that look to usurp the authority of a democratic governor in charge of a largely minority population. Talk about damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Now, I can't say whether Blanco intentionally waited just to make Bush look bad, or if she truly was an idiot and didn't get it through her thick skull that the decision was hers. I knew at the time that this was not the federal govts call, but the state and local leaders that needed to step up. But because the leaders were dem., everyone wanted to place the blame on Bush because he's a republican.

I knew after game 1, they'd get their act together, then after game 2, realized they knew what needed to be done. they've been on fire ever since. can't wait to see them take a 3-2 lead back to LA and win it in front of all those super stars actors. The look on Nicholsons face will be priceless.
