Maybe not immediately, Kevin, but yes, there should be political fallout over Katrina

Kevin Drum says both conservatives and liberals ought to avoid political infighting over Hurricane Katrina.

I happen to disagree, to some extent. I certainly disagree, if we’re making reasonable time allowances. Perhaps such political wrangling shouldn’t be done immediately, but this is another inexcusable thing for Bush.

In addition to the Think Progress post noting with approval that Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu blames Bush for cutting Corps of Engineers funding, Bush needs to be held accountable not only for hurricane lack of preparedness, but having National Guard troops who could be stopping looting fighting a needless war in Iraq.
