Now Republican presidential hopeful John McCain, in his continuing pander tour to traditional Democratic constituencies, is getting in the act. According to the senator from Arizona, the Bush administration blew it, and he'll make sure it never happens again. Talk about piling on. Is Katrina the political gift that keeps on giving, or what?
I still want an explanation for all those school buses sitting in water instead of transporting people to safety.
Conservatives aren't likely to jump the reservation over Mr. McCain's comments. But how about some people from New Orleans standing up to tell us about all the exciting things THEY are doing rather than more talk about more government? Enough is enough.

IMO, McCain's main goal was to blunt the "Bush's third term" ads that the Democrats are going to unleash on him before November. By excoriating Bush now, McCain is highlighting his independence. But it will be interesting to see whether McCain can win the presidency by relying only on independents, moderate Republicans and Reagan Democrats. He is very pointedly snubbing the traditional base of his party, conservatives.
Red Sox fans can't stop mentioning Buckner. Newspaper men can't forget "Dewey Wins". When you screw up something as royally as the Bush admin booted Katrina (sorry to mix metaphors there), then it will keep coming back. Face it, in an administration full of low points, this one will always stick out.
