There are also reports that Bush asked La. to hand control over, but the request was denied. Because your side tries to blame everything on Bush, the responses that point to others as being the ones at fault are inevitable.
In the end, Slave was the only one who has made sense in any of the 100 blame posts. Although I'm right that the Senator is getting a little chunky.

Apparently Mississippi is very happy with the level of support and cooperation it received from the feds. It sounds to me like this was a local problem (either local state/city officials or those federal officials responsible for NO).
