Nawlins? Who dat?
Gov. Kathleen Blanco angrily criticized President Bush on Wednesday for not mentioning 2005’s destructive hurricanes in his State of the Union speech, and said Louisiana is being shortchanged in federal recovery funding for political reasons.
Surely I can’t be the only one who read about this and suspected the president struck out a mention of Katrina victims from an earlier draft after watching a television profile on ecstatic Saints fans.
New Orleans: We’re winning
But you know the Bush motto: When you find yourself in a hole, keep diggin’:
White House spokesman Blair C. Jones said Wednesday that Bush wants the Gulf Coast region rebuilt as quickly as possible and that he was committed to helping New Orleans’ recovery.
“This year’s State of the Union was not a list of every ongoing and important issue before the President,” Jones said.

Hey! that quote was James Baker about “the Jewsâ„¢” back in ’92, wasn’t it? I saw that on the late night tee-vee (before online video).

Well hell, was there a reason it was so interminable, then?
I didn’t know The Crow was a Saints fan.
I see that “Heck-of-a-Job Brownie” is spilling the beans about the disparate treatment between Republican Mississippi and Democratic Louisiana.
