NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Presidential contender John Edwards lambasted the Bush administration Friday for reportedly “squandering” millions of dollars in aid offered by allies after Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast.
Edwards made his comments after a brief appearance in jeans and work boots at a site where Habitat for Humanity is building a house in the hard-hit 9th Ward. The former senator and Democratic contender was to speak Friday afternoon at the National Conference of Black Mayors’ annual convention.
