So you think they thought the levees would fail? Or that Brown, who until this point has been a favorite target of the anti-Bush crowd, is now a martyr? Or maybe that there was something they could have done in the 24 hours between Brown's warning and Katrina's landfall? I'm always willing to believe that a politician has lied, or at least that their handlers have caused them to. But I still don't know what the point of this information is, beyond "SEE?!?!? BUSH IS TEH EVILZ!!"

You think the mayor of NOLA and the LA governor would have responded if Bush had said, "You guys are hosed. We're sending our fleet of federal City Evacuation Busses to forcibly remove all your citizens from their homes, because your levees are going to fail tomorrow"? You think that a response of any kind on the federal level would have prevented the hurricane from doing the damage it did? Again, what did you want them to do with the information? Remember, it came from a "horse breeder with no experience" or whatever you were calling Brown a couple weeks ago.
