Has Gov. Blanco contributed anything positive to the recovery efforts?
New Orleans' Mayor Nagin has said she waited a critical 24 hours after the levees broke to request federal aid. Now she's angry that the feds haven't signed a contract to remove Katrina victims' bodies from the water. Yet she's authorized to execute the same contract on the state's behalf. So after griping about the federal bureacracy ("No one, even those at the highest level, seems to be able to break through the bureaucracy to get this important mission done. ... I am angry and outraged"), she finally signed the contract herself. "I could not bear to wait any longer," she said. Why did she wait so long in the first place?
