RE: $5.00 a gallon
Let's also remember that if Jean Francois Kerry was the president, he would have had all of 7 1/2 months of administrative experience going into Katrina. The blame is going to fall right where it belongs--with the lion's share on Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, and even a fair amount for the brother of Senator Mary Landrieu, whose brother is the lieutenant governor of Louisiana, and whose father was the mayor of NO at one point. 'Course, you could blame the Louisiana Department of Homeland Security, who kept the American Red Cross out of New Orleans (and where several high-ranking Dem officials were under indictment for misappropriating Federal funds for levee maintenance, before Katrina hit), too . . . before you start throwing rocks at President Bush.
Trust me . .. when that comission starts to ask questions, there will be a lot of people with egg on their faces--starting with the above-mentioned state and local officials.
Get the oil shale!
