US - Republican wins Louisiana govenors race
The BBC led the anti-American charge blaming the Republicans, especially Bush, for the Katrina disaster. The people of Louisiana knew the truth.
Not by the BBC she wasn't. Neither was New Orleans mayor, Ray Nagin, who was branded a hero by the BBC. It was't till I sent a photograph of the flooded buses all neatly lined up, that Nagin failed to use for evacuating the poor, that one BBC reporter told the truth.
"The Republican took 54% of the vote to win outright over his nearest rival, Democrat Walter Boasso, who got 18%.
Outgoing Democratic Governor Kathleen Blanco chose not to run again after she was widely criticised for her handling of the 2005 Hurricane Katrina crisis."
