Bush and His 'Sit on His Ass' Strategery Towards Levee Maintenence


You would've thought they'd learned their lesson. Nope:

Forecasters said [Hurricane] Dolly was expected to make land late Tuesday or early Wednesday as a hurricane with sustained winds of 74 to 95 mph. The storm combined with levees that have deteriorated in the 41 years since Beulah swept up the Rio Grande pose a major flooding threat to low-lying counties along the border. Beulah spawned more than 100 tornadoes across Texas and dumped 36 inches of rain in some parts of South Texas, killing 58 people and causing more than $1 billion damage.

But hey, the surge worked, and so did the invasion of Iraq, which has only cost a little more than a half trillion dollars to date.
