It's satire, but hard to tell nowadays:

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana --- The initial claims by New Orleans and Louisiana officials that tens of thousands of people were killed by Hurricane Katrina are apparently off by tens of thousands. When asked to explain such a huge discrepancy, Mayor Nagin of New Orleans blamed the failed school system that was destroyed by the Bush Administration.

"If the school system here wasn't such a failure, then maybe our officials could count better," said Nagin. "Bush and his Administration destroyed our public school system by lowering taxes and passing No Child Left Behind. I even had trouble counting the number of buses we had available to evacuate people. Imagine my shock when I discovered dozens of buses under water that could have been used for evacuation. I only counted three. Bush has destroyed education in this country, and in New Orleans in particular."

When asked how the education system was destroyed by Bush years prior to his election, Nagin was adamant that Bush was at fault. "I can't answer that question, and that's Bush's fault," said Nagin. "Had Bush not been elected, I'd have an answer to that question. He's a racist, a liar, and a failure."
