"His presidency never recovered from that travesty."

No, it didn't. Which only proves Lincoln's maxim, "you can fool some of the people all of the time, but not all of the people all of the time"...

I actually think the beginning of the end for Bush came before Katrina. It was when David Kay came back from Iraq and said we weren't going to find any WMD.

That's when we knew Bush had broken his trust with us, we could no longer take him at his word. And that's when his poll numbers began their slide down to the historic lows he suffered throughout so much of his failed presidency. He never got our trust back and his poll numbers never recovered.
