HURRICANE THREAT

When Katrina hit New Orleans and local and state and Federal officials were less than optimally successful in their reactions, the Federal Government took the greatest pr hits.

In all fairness, the state and local officials were hugely remiss, as all right thinking folks know.

Now, if the current hurricane threat should hit New Orleans, God forbid, and if all the agencies do their jobs well, will the Feds get any credit? Or will all kudos go to the locals?

We'll see.
