Well, this document should put to rest any effort on the part of the Bush administration to blame the local (Democratic) government for the disaster in New Orleans.
It's a written, formal request of help and intervention by Kathleen Blanco, the (Democratic) Governor of Louisiana, to President Bush. She was requesting federal help (on virtually every level) to face the upcoming storm, because she knew that the state resources would have been overwhelmed. How did she know? She probably wasn't on vacation. And if she was, she was told about this and immediately acted upon it.
It's dated Sunday, August 28th, 2005, the day before the storm made landfall.
Let's watch Rove spin that now.
