GW did NOT "procrastinate" over the levees!
The floodwall that gave way was almost brand new, you idiot.

Procrastination is far too generous a term for what he really did, which was
to actively cut the flood control budget. And indeed some work continued,
as with the new flood wall, but it was wholly inadequate. We should bear in
mind that he was only the latest in a string of national leaders to have
ignored or minimized the problem, though.

Cheers, Alastair. *PLONK*
