Kathleen versus Katrina
Life imitates Chrenkoff:
It's already ugly in New Orleans, but I'm sure it will get uglier. There is a difference though between stranded residents making off with water and food, and Mad Max-esque well-organized and armed gangs roaming (or paddling) the streets and terrorizing the locals, unlucky visitors and those trying to assist.
In other interesting Katrina-related posts:
Deja Vu discusses which countries are coming to assistance.
Generation Why asks why the left is deifying President Bush.
EU Rota reminds us there was somebody else in the White House before Bush (hat tip: Astute Blogger).

It will be interesting to see whether the left, which criticised the Bush team for not getting the US military to stop the looting in the post-liberation Iraq, will now call for the troops to be brought back to shoot the looters in New Orleans.And later on today:
Governor Kathleen Blanco said: "Three hundred of the Arkansas National Guard have landed in the city of New Orleans.Well, it's a good thing they went to Iraq in the first place to get all that "well-trained, experienced, battle-tested." Eagerly awaiting the first leftie pundit to call Gov Blanco a fascist.
"These troops are fresh back from Iraq, well-trained, experienced, battle-tested and under my orders to restore order in the streets.
"They have M-16s and they are locked and loaded.
"These troops know how to shoot and kill and they are more than willing to do so if necessary and I expect they will."
