Let me rephrase.
Hurricane Katrina was NOT W.'s fault. A natural disaster is no one's fault... unless, of course, you consider the fact that global warming is NOT a load of crap; it's a scientific reality and is in fact a direct result of the poor environmentalism us humans have shown throughout our existence - politics notwithstanding. [If you 'don't believe in' the greenhouse effect, then you're also probably one of my favorite people who doesn't 'believe in' the science of evolution and is in support of teaching creationism. You also probably drive an SUV or Hummer that gets 9 miles to the gallon and burps toxic waste into the air.] The state government of Louisiana (and Mississippi) AS WELL AS the Federal Government have all completely failed the hurricane victims. W. himself just happens to be spectacularly ineffective at making any sort of effective decision to galvanize the rescue mission. Of course, maybe if he'd bothered to cut his vacation short BEFORE the hurricane hit instead of 3 days afterward, there would have been more for him to do...
