Even Mr. Bill Knew the Levees Wouldn't Hold

"In early 2004, lovable, crushable clay animated figure Mr. Bill from Saturday Night Live starred in an ad to alert people to the problems with the wetlands in Louisiana. On Good Morning, America today, President Bush said, 'I don't think anyone could have anticipated the breach of the levees.' He was wrong. Mr. Bill already had. Here's a transcript of the stunningly prescient ad, from CNN on May 27, 2004..."

This is a grand design failure. So, the Whitehouse can imagine flying drone planes somehow making it from Iraq to the US without detection, but they can't "anticipate" the potential negative impacts of having a city built below sea level? This excuse seems too familiar...

UPDATE: This Factcheck.org article has, well, facts.
