Every Katrina evacuee that I spoke with in the year after the storm blamed Blanco and Baton Rouge for the problems more than they did Nagin or the feds. I'm sure there's plenty of blame for everyone, however.
But what is being anticipated with this new, young Republican governor? Is NOLA even on his map?

He met with Bush yesterday, I assume to sell LA out of all of her natural resources (oil, gas, water, food). He will move as much as he can get away with to Baton Rouge and turn NOLA into Disney land. Blanco actually has an above 50% approval, so a lot of what you hear is propoganda repeated by idiots. Look, the local governments were as much Katrina victims any any citizen.

I wondered how much of the Blanco hate was real or just repetition of what frustrated, disconnected people had heard through the grapevine and taken as gospel. Thanks for your response.

the systematic effort by BushCo to place all the blame for Bush Administration failures during Katrina on Gov. Blanco--a spin machine which made Blanco extremely unpopular and caused her to decide not to run for re-election, resulting in regime change in Louisiana, see Louisiana's Relationship From Hell.
