IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FUN TO WATCH THE RIGHT AND LEFT TRY TO PROCESS THAT ONE:

Rove: We mishandled Katrina recovery (Joseph Weber, 3/11/10, Washington Times)

Mr. Rove, 59, said the administration should have used a 1807 law that gives the federal government authority to take control of an insurgent U.S. state.

"It was a mistake," Mr. Rove said Thursday in discussing his recent memoir on The Washington Times' "America's Morning News" radio show. "We should have used the legal authority to declare the state an insurgent, taken the political heat of pushing out the state's governor and overruling the African-American mayor of New Orleans."

Even if that hadn't made any difference on the ground it would have been hilarious on the airwaves and op-ed pages.
