George Lakoff has written a great article about the abstract politics behind the fallout of Katrina. I have reproduced it in full here, and found it originally on Alternet.org

Bush is busy framing the tragedy in his own way: bad things just happen, it's no one's fault, the government tried to help. Unless the truth is told starting now, the American people will accept it for lack of an alternative.

Administration Is Shedding 'Unreality' That Dominated Invasion, Official Says
