Kathleen Blanco's Stormy Career Over

Katherine BlancoLouisiana Governor Katherine Kathleen Blanco is set to announce that she will not run for a second term.

The interesting thing is that LA had an election right after Katrina hit, she would have won in a landslide because the media was too busy slamming President Bush and FEMA and defending Blanco that the horrific mistakes she made were totally glossed over.

The failure of her and Ray Nagin to act when a) they had ample warning and b) a hurricane of this magnitude was predicted for decades shows how incredibly inept she was in handling the situation.

Now that the citizens of Louisiana have had a year and a half to ponder her performance, they've decided that she is not who they want leading them. They saw that she shifted the blame to everyone but her self, while the evidence has shown that her failures were among the most egregious.

Note (2/21/07 2115): I mistakenly titled this as "Katherine" when her name is Kathleen. My apologies to the forced out outgoing Governor for the error.
