The BP oil spill is affecting states with "drill baby, drill" advocates as governors. They are also vociferous critics of big government and federal overreach.
They defended everything Bush did, and are still trying to pretend Bush's incompetence was due to circumstances beyond his control. The RW is trying so hard to give the impression that they aren't desperate in their attempt to whitewash Bush's legacy and tarnish Obama's that they've dragged out "heck of a job"

Katrina is a symbol of all this administration does and doesn't do. Michael Brown -- or Brownie as the President so famously thanked him for doing a heck of a job - Brownie is to Katrina what Paul Bremer is to peace in Iraq; what George Tenet is to slam dunk intelligence; what Paul Wolfowitz is to parades paved with flowers in Baghdad; what Dick Cheney is to visionary energy policy; what Donald Rumsfeld is to basic war planning; what Tom Delay is to ethics; and what George Bush is to “Mission Accomplished” and “Wanted Dead or Alive.” The bottom line is simple: The "we'll do whatever it takes" administration doesn't have what it takes to get the job done.
