Wait, let me put on my “shocked and surprised” face.
From an article in Time Magazine. First, the headline:
And a nice quote:
Unbeknownst to me, certain people in the White House were thinking we had to federalize Louisiana because she's a white, female Democratic governor and we have a chance to rub her nose in it
(--"Heck of a Job" Brown)
No, really, I'm trying my best to be shocked and horrified that such an accusation could be made. There's certainly nothing suspicious about the federal response to the destruction of New Orleans that would make you think that politics might enter into it.

And far be it from me to suggest the Bushistas weren’t displeased at the diaspora from New Orleans, which would have the knock-on effect of moving mostly Democratic voters to less Blue climes and turning over some La. House seats, perhaps a Senate seat or two.
