This would be a better analogy if the ocean surrounding the united states weren't subject, pursuant to statute, to the jurisdiction of the federal government.

Good point. So when making a rescue, the Coast Guard determines whether a boater is beyond three miles from the shore, and only then proceeds? Thanks for clearing that one up.
I have very little doubt that when the spin subsides, it will be determined that Nagin and Blanco, inter alia, made some errors, but I have a very hard time believing that one of them will be failing to have timely asked for federal aid. If there's anything that most states do very well, it's ask for federal resources, and Louisiana is surely right up there in this department.
