LA Guv Blanco cleared of any blame associated with not calling a state of emergency in time.

Rep. John Conyers notes, via a non-partisan Congressional Report (also found at Daily Kos):

This report closes the book on the Bush Administration’s attempts to evade accountability by shifting the blame to the Governor of Louisiana for the Administration’s tragically sluggish response to Katrina. It confirms that the Governor did everything she could to secure relief for the people of Louisiana and the Bush Administration was caught napping at a critical time.

Karl Rove and all the radical right-wing talking heads can shut up now.
