The Pendragon's Hall

How far will they go? Cindy Sheehan, the NYT, and the German government are gloating over the destruction wrought by Hurricane Katrina, and saying (surprise!) that it's all Bush's fault. They often accuse Conservatives of thinking of Bush as our messiah and now they have just elevated him to Godlike status and given him charge of the weather. I have news for these people: Bush is not responsible for the weather, nor is he responsible for disaster relief efforts in Louisiana. If you want to blame someone, blame the state government for not being prepared. It was their job to keep their state safe and they blew it. Now, as usual, they expect the federal government to bail them out and if it doesn't do so up to their expectations then it must be to blame for the disaster and the failure to follow it up. Anything but admit responsibility. Does it really matter who is to blame? It was a disaster. Millions of people are being displaced and all the state government of Louisiana can do is moan about what the federal government should have done. And if Senator Landrieu wants to punch me, I just might punch her back.
