But it must be Bush’s fault, all the same:
A ranking Louisiana health official turned down federal offers to help move or evacuate patients as Hurricane Katrina bore down on New Orleans, a newly released document shows.
But the state’s top medical officer said Louisiana coordinated with the federal Health and Human Services Department in evacuating hospitals and nursing homes after Katrina hit.
Two days before the Aug. 29 storm, HHS was told by the state’s health emergency preparedness director that the help was not needed, according to an e-mail released Monday by a Senate panel investigating the government’s response to Katrina.
The state official, identified in the Aug. 27 e-mail as Dr. Roseanne Pratts, “responded no, that they do not require anything at this time and they would be in touch if and when they needed assistance,” wrote HHS senior policy analyst Erin Fowler.
The investigation into “what went wrong” re Katrina is going to end up exposing incompetence at the state and local (read Democrat) level. I expect we won’t hear much about it.
If you hear anything about it, it’s going to be slanted in the well Bush should have known they were incompetent and should have overridden them in order to do the right thing. He didn’t do that because he’s racist, evil, whatever adjective feels right at the time.

Here’s the mantra to take into account. [This is a Leftist's litany against Bush... one that we might guess from the ir most secret parts of their imagination.
Tin foil hats on...]
‘
Everything bad that happens in this world is Bush’s fault. That’s why he must be humiliated, or else, something must be done.
‘
If there’s a hurricane, it’s his fault. If there’s an eathquake, it’s his fault. If there’s snow falling, it’s his fault. If rain cancels your kid’s baseball game in the middle of the third inning… well, it is still his fault.
‘
If an island goes down in the ocean… well, it doesn’t matter if it’s nature: that’s global warming, and that is his fault.
‘
If a kid dies because some other kid kills him for his Nikes, it must be Bush’s fault – see, the other kid was envious because he didn’t have any, so that means there’s income inequality from the parent(s), plus the kids are not getting everything they need in life, so that must also be Bush’s fault.
‘
If your geraniums die from the last frost, it’s Bush’s fault. That’s global warming, which was caused by him once he was sworn into office in 2001.
‘
If a tiger shows up in the city and scares the living daylights out of a whole bunch of people, no, it can’t be the zoo’s, or the tiger’s fault – it’s Bush’s fault, because… I don’t know, just because…
‘
If your grandma dies at a ripe old age, it must be Bush’s fault… Think about it, with all the damage he’s doing with global warming, he’s not allowing people to live longer – never mind that life expectancy has increased exponentially over the last 50 years. If your mom dies all of a sudden, it must be Bush’s fault… but your mom just had a heart attack, and didn’t take care of herself… Well, it’s still his fault.
‘
If people fight about religion, it’s Bush’s fault – he’s a “Christer”, and therefore a danger to humanity. He must not be allowed in the community of nations.
‘
If a religion like Islamo-fascism is given a bad rap because of what their adherents do and the fruits of their doings, no, it can’t be their fault… Bush provoked them; therefore, it has to be his fault. Never mind that they have been doing all kinds of nasty things over the years… He provoked them by saying “Bring ‘em on!”
If your kids fails in school, it is Bush’s fault. NCLB is such a burden on poor Johnny. He can’t do a math problem right. It’s not his fault – he has worked out a sweat on those, but it is not his responsibility. It’s Bush’s, you see. He made Johnny sit down a think for a change.
‘
If your favorite team fails at the championship, it’s Bush’s fault. Why? Nothing in particular, but it’s best not to analyze what went wrong in the game plan… So, it’s best to blame it on someone who had nothing to do with it.
‘
If your girlfriend breaks up with you because she has seen the light and has become a conservative, it definitely is Bush’s fault. But… she was so for “choice”, anti-war, anti-industry, etc… What happened?!? Why yes, Bush “hypnotized” her by sending Karl Rove to do the dirty work… It must be his fault. But you can guarantee that he won’t sleep with your ex-girlfriend. He’s too happy with Laura to go after anyone else… Nah, it’s still his fault… and Rush’s, too…
‘
If you lose your job because you’re fired, it must be Bush’s fault… If you lose your job because of lay-offs, it can’t be because of capitalism… It definitely is Bush’ fault… You know, the Great Depression, Hoovervilles, are now becoming “Bush-villes”….
‘
So, the conclusion to this rant is this: the world would have become a much better place to live if Bush had never been born at all.
‘
So, here’s a modest proposal for Lefties: do yourselves a favor and invent a time machine, like the one from the H. G. Wells novel. Once developed, tested and implemented, send one of your anti-Bush buddies dressed as a kamikaze from the Second World War, and make sure you target the ship in which GHW Bush is serving as a Lieutenant. Bomb the place off, and then die in the process. “No man, no problem,” as Stalin used to say, right?
‘
Uh… but, that would take years to develop, and by that time, he’ll be retired and comfortable, while the rest of us live in “hell.”…
‘
OK, then, why not do something more practical. Do what Saddam has done, and file a lawsuit against him in the International Criminal Court, and accuse him of crimes against humanity…
‘
“But the United States is not part of that court by treaty…”
‘
Doesn’t matter. We want him in Ft. Leavenworth… We want to humilliate him…
‘
“But we don’t have the power to do anything about it. Congress is all-Republican, and now the courts are tilting right… Look at Alito…”
‘
Hmmm… Maybe we should think a little more…
