Enough Katrina already

Is it me, or do other people agree that we have done enough to help New Orleans recover from Hurricane Katrina? This is one natural disaster that just won't go away. How many more unaccounted billions of taxpayer dollars need to flow into the city before it's enough? The answer is as elusive as a cure for AIDS.

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.
