        No, because of the Democratic Governor Kathleen Blanco’s handling of the storm.

        Similarly, the mayor of New Orleans at the time, Ray Nagin, was a Democrat.

        The locals definitely blamed them a lot more than Bush, which is fair, the hurricanes had been happening for decades and nobody had even so much as drawn up a plan to use school buses to evacuate those without vehicles. The plan was always “better hope you own a car, bitch!” which really isn’t a plan at all.
