NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Despite an effort to recall her amid stinging criticism of her response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Gov. Kathleen Blanco on Saturday joins six other inductees into the Louisiana Political Museum's Hall of Fame.
Each year since 1993, the museum, located in Winnfield in central Louisiana, has named several inductees — as highly regarded as former U.S. Rep. Lindy Boggs and as scandalous as the now imprisoned former Gov. Edwin Edwards.
Selections are made by an anonymous committee and popularity has nothing to do with it; the sole criterion, museum officials say, is the inductee's influence on politics in Louisiana.

An excerpt from the committee's selection criteria quiz--
a: do nothing
b: wait for the President to call you and tell you to evacuate the city.
c: a&b, and then complain to anyone who'll hear that it was all the federal government's fault that it went horribly wrong.
d: all of the above
Only for a Democrat would "d" get you inducted into any type of hall of fame.
