Wow, are you serious. Governor Bobby Jindal said that one of the unspoken miracles of Hurricane Katrina was the fact there were no oil spills! Even McCain was caught repeating that a time or two on his campaign trail.
Trust me, I know better. I was stationed in that area for a year, six months in '02, and six months in '07, and seen the damaged coastline. And my job as a meteorologist allowed me some insight into the environment damage that occurred from the catastrophic oil spills, as described by state and federal agencies.
