As I predicted, it was the slow movement of Isaac and the rain that caused the problems on the Gulf Coast. Isaac was never the killer storm Katrina was. Sadly, a handful of people died, but nothing even slightly approaching the hundreds killed by Katrina. The criminal media – for their outrageous attempts to turn this disaster into a partisan political event were nothing short of criminal in their distraction away from the real, immediate dangers posed by the storm – failed, utterly, to create the fear, panic, and finger-pointing blame they had intended.
