All Disasters are Local
A level-headed assessment of the rapidity of the response to Katrina, with a few swipes at know-nothing morally outraged journalists, can be found here.
LA Governor Blanco: Bush not to blame. This should end the debate in the media, eh? I mean, Blanco was a hero to the left in the crisis. I think not, but if anyone is an authority on being slow to respond it'd be her. I'll accept her expert opinion on Bush's reaction time.
Headline: Blanco Says Death Toll Acceptable
Well, that's what I'd write if I were a liberal journalist or broadcaster, based on this statement:
We did a massive evacuation, and if we hadn't we would have had thousands of deaths. Right now, the numbers are minimal when you consider the amount of damage.
Of course Gov. Blanco, not Pres. Bush, said the above words. So I guess she's being responsible and compassionate. If it were Bush, or any white man, it'd be a wink and a nudge about how "they was all just a bunch of two-dollar Martians (that's my code word for THE N WORD) anyhow."
