Cartoon mocks Bush White House as leaky levee amid Katrina criticism
LEVEE OF LAME EXCUSES -- COLOR by Monte Wolverton, politicalcartoons.com

A political cartoon published September 11, 2005, depicts the White House integrated into a brick levee structure that is cracking under pressure. Water pours through a breach labeled 'LEVEE OF LAME EXCUSES' while a large wave labeled 'STORM SURGE OF CRITICISM' looms overhead. The word 'ADMINISTRATION' appears beneath the building. The image responds to widespread criticism of the federal government's response to Hurricane Katrina, which struck the Gulf Coast in late August 2005 and caused catastrophic flooding in New Orleans after levee failures. The cartoon uses the physical levee as a visual stand-in for the administration's defensive posture and perceived reliance on excuses rather than effective action.
