And other thoughts on how realistic-minded conservative blogs are a welcome counterweight to “Blame Bush and blame only Bush” for Katrina aftermath disaster.
As Europe-based libertarian blogger EU Rota reports, the “Big Dog” himself cut Corps of Engineer levee-improvement funding more than once. Going through the archives of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, he lists several such instances from 1995-2000.
And, while I disagree with Rota, and think Bush deserves a majority of the blame, it is indeed arguable that New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco have their own share of blame for not having more local and statewide prestaging points, etc.
