Hurricane Katrina - at last it can be told

Ever wonder why Hurricane Katrina was such a fiasco? I myself thought it was the failure of the American political class, starting with El Prez, working its way down to the Mayor of New Orleans and going back decades.

Silly me.

Newt Gingrich now sets us straight. It was the fault of the people of the 9th ward of New Orleans themselves! Check it out here. And here is the full quote:

How can you have the mess we have in New Orleans, and not have had deep nvestigations of the federal government, the state government, the city government, and the failure of citizenship in the Ninth Ward, where 22,000 people were so uneducated and so unprepared, they literally couldn't get out of the way of a hurricane.
