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.

Ty, according to that transcript of Nagin, Blanco couldn't or wouldn't make a decision when she had the president right in front of her offering options. Granted, the transcript doesn't say what the Pres. offered, but if it is true she needed 24 hours to make a decision, then she truly has no business being in charge of anything.
