  Jindal and tonic

  I am so embarrassed to be a Louisianaian. I don't know this for a fact, (but Gov. Jindal is not apparently too conversant with facts) but I  don't remember that there were any "bureaucrats" around  the first several days following Katrina. There were many courageous volunteers doing what needed to be done, regardless. If there had not been, the number of those who died would have been greater.  I'm not sure what his point was, and, since Sheriff Harry Lee (a truly good man who would have defied bureaucrats if necessary) is dead we can't ask his version of this story. BTW, i really don't remember seeing then Cong. Jindal around during the early aftermath. Sen Mary Landrineau (D), yes, Jindal not so much.
