In light of how the MSM brought to our attention that the Bush administration clearly knew that the levee could have been breached because the video said that the levee could be topped, even though breached and topped are not the same thing, but somehow the press doesn't understand that, then obviously we can expect the MSM to make sure that every United States citizen understands that Kathleen Blanco told the Bush administration the day that the levee was breached three hours after the levee was breached, that the levee was not breached but instead was topped.

Now that's a Bill Clinton type of long winded sentence.

WASHINGTON - In the hectic, confused hours after Hurricane Katrina lashed the Gulf Coast, Louisiana's governor hesitantly but mistakenly assured the Bush administration that New Orleans' protective levees were intact, according to new video obtained by The Associated Press showing briefings that day with federal officials.

"We keep getting reports in some places that maybe water is coming over the levees," Gov. Kathleen Blanco said shortly after noon on Aug. 29, according to the video. "We heard a report unconfirmed, I think, we have not breached the levee. I think we have not breached the levee at this time."

In fact, the National Weather Service received a report of a levee breach and issued a flash-flood warning as early as 9:12 a.m. that day, according to the White House's formal recounting of events the day Katrina struck.

Oops. Ben Franklin is quoted as saying "A lie gets half way around the world before the truth gets a chance to put its pants on." Hitler was quoted as saying "The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it."

Look around, they both are right.
