Louisiana Official Caught Stealing Relief Supplies
Louisiana is one of the most corrupt states in the nation - they have a long, long history of utter political corruption. We also see that the state's officials are stupid and unable to properly deliver services to them, or even to manage an evacuation before a hurricane hits.
Now, in the wake of Katrina, a local official in charge of handing out relief supplies was caught stealing them.
Liberals should blame President Bush for this obvious mismanagement.
Storm Donations Found at Official's Home
Any mention of this on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, or anywhere else? Don't hold your breath.

Storm Donations Found at Official's Home
BATON ROUGE, La. - Police found cases of food, clothing and tools intended for hurricane victims at the home of the chief administrative officer for a New Orleans suburb, authorities said Wednesday.
Officers searched Cedric Floyd's home because of complaints that city workers were helping themselves to donations for hurricane victims. Floyd, who runs the day-to-day operations in the suburb of Kenner, was in charge of distributing the goods.
Police plan to seek a charge of committing an illegal act as a public official against Floyd, and more charges against other city workers are possible, police Capt. Steve Caraway said.
The donations filled a large pickup truck four times. "It was an awful lot of stuff," Caraway said.
