For a couple days now the media and the Democrats have been pointing the finger of blame at George W. Bush over the Katrina rescue operation. In fact, they've accused him of lying. Bush said after the hurricane that no one could have anticipated the levees failing...but the video and transcripts clearly show that he was being told that very thing.

But what has been missing throughout the post-Katrina blame game has been any responsibility being taken on the part of state and local officials. After all, they run the show. The mayor and the governor ordered the evacuation. The governor controlled the national guard. And so now it would appear, Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco is in the soup.

According to a video obtained by the media, Blanco assured Washington that the levees had not failed...when in fact they had. Now...the media, in this case the Associated Press, reports that the governor was "mistaken." See a pattern? Yup...when it's a Democratic governor running against the facts, it's a mistake. When it's a Republican president getting something wrong, he's a liar.

But really...what difference does it all make? The hurricane has been over for 6 months. Things are getting back to normal. Do the American people really care anymore? Probably not....but the politicians sure do.
