As President Bush and other members of his administration flood the airwaves with interviews meant to rehabilitate and polish the "legacy" of the Bush administration, I fear too many people may forget the truly incompetent and irresponsible actions of our leaders over the last eight years. I remember watching those miserable scenes at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. How could the greatest nation on earth abandon its citizens for four days in that nightmare? A. C. Thompson, of The Nation reminds us of some of that horror and of the long after-effects in this video: "Katrina's Hidden Race War." Hat tip to Satyam Khanna at Think Progress.
