FACTUALLY CHALLENGED....From the Washington Post today:

Tens of thousands of people spent a fifth day awaiting evacuation from this ruined city, as Bush administration officials blamed state and local authorities for what leaders at all levels have called a failure of the country's emergency management....As of Saturday, [Louisiana governor Kathleen] Blanco still had not declared a state of emergency, [a] senior Bush official said.

Hmmm. Is this statement from a "senior Bush official" true? Why no. No it's not:

August 26: Blanco declares a state level state of emergency.

August 27: Blanco asks the president to declare a federal state of emergency for the state of Louisiana.

August 27: Bush declares a federal state of emergency for Louisiana.

Better liars please.
