The Governor of Louisiana, Democratic Kathleen Blanco, says she was not invited by the president to accompany him on his tour of her state today. She tagged along anyway going to the airport to greet Mr. Bush when he landed. Still when the president and the governor toured the shelter in Baton Rouge, they mostly kept their distance, going their separate ways and talking to people who found refuge there.
Considering what the State of Louisiana has just gone through, is it possible to imagine a greater insult than this?
So the guy has no idea of propriety or the rules of decorum -- you wouldn't expect that from someone born with a spoon in his mouth and a natural-born bully. Still, you'd think a disaster of ths magnitude might elicit some degree of sensitivity.
This incompent jerk owes the Governor and the whole State of Louisiana an apology.
