Katrina Victims...

Well, well.

For all the rhetoric during the last three months since Katrina made land fall and caused so much damage, you'd have thought thousands had died and most of them were, how shall we say, of a certain heritage.

The hearings on the matter were, to say the least, more of the same. Some even compared it to the Holocaust. Of course, there is no comparison but the veiled reference to the popular leftist refrain that Bush is a fascist or Hitler comes through load and clear.

The facts are coming through and, as usual, they are crushing the rhetoric:

Of the 562 victims identified -- out of 883 -- 48 percent were Americans of African descent and 41 percent were Caucasian. 13 percent were Hispanic and 8 percent were unknown.
