A few more facts.   Limbaugh blamed environmentalists and mudcatters went wild.   AS Werner Wolf would say "lets go to the videotape"

In 1996 the Sierra club sued the US army of engineers who wanted to improve the levees.   In court testimony the core said "a failure could wreak catastrophic damage in Louisiana..."

The sierra club response from court testimony "bottomwood hardwood must be protected and restored if the Lousiana black bear is to survive"

The case was settled in 1997 to delay any improvements in the levee.

Sidebar (history quiz- who was president in 1997 when this decision was made?   Hint- he was impeached and disbarred)

Now - do you still disagree with Rush when he said that environmentalists were partly to blame for the levees breaking?   On the bright side, I guess we still have black bears in Lousiana.

Clearly I am a puppet of the Lousiana black bear lobby.
