SPIKE LEE + DAVID SIMON + KATRINA = AWESOME, IF IT ACTUALLY HAPPENS.
Editors' Note: Sarah Bayer is a summer 2008 Prospect editorial intern.
Spike Lee announced yesterday that he may work with The Wire creator David Simon on a scripted film about Hurricane Katrina. What would have been an interesting follow-up to Lee's HBO documentary When the Levees Broke now has a downright tantalizing pair of names (at least prospectively) behind it. See TAP Online's former (spoilerific) series WireTAP for more on the show's fifth season.

Weren't there rumors that Simon was going to do a show based on New Orleans?

I wonder if they'll point out the fact the only place where they couldn't get it together after Katrina was Louisana where there was a Democrat Governor and a Democrat Mayor. All the States affected that had Republican governers handled the hurricane as well as you can handle a hurricane.
