Let's forget about the facts in this case for a minute.
What if the levees didn't break? What if New Orleans did "dodge the bullet"?
These cities were still hit with a Category 4 hurricane!!!!
Do you think that maybe the head of the Department of Homeland Security would want to know how things were going? Do you think that maybe the fact that probably up to a million Americans were either evacuated or in the process of being evacuated may just be something he should take a little bit of interest in????
