Probably. His book was full of common sense from a person who spent his whole life in a natural-disaster-prone area.

This is Bushes fault too ...

Racism causes cancer - everyone knows that

But seriously, the stress at being nationally identified as such a useless piece of crap weakened her ?

Fitting. New Orleans still a stinking shthole barely recovering from her (and not the Hurricane, really). They have not finished fixing stuff the latest tropical storm almost demolished it

Bourbons street is impassable

She is hopefully in Hell. Hope Nagin soon follows.

Blanco took her marching orders from the DNC when Katrina hit.

Yep. I remember some of the press conferences when you could see Blanco glancing toward Mary Landrieu, as if to ask "NOW what do I say?!". Not even subtle about it.

Maybe the door knob was too hot for that. 😁

Let’s just assume that all major Democrat leaders of Louisiana (up till now) and all Democrat leaders of New Orleans were incompetent, corrupt, political buffoons, and a disgrace to the good people of that city and state.

PS: Even out of state cops get robbed in New Orleans during Marti Gras. It happened to three of them who were with my friend (these cops didn’t have their guns with them, my friend did, but was outnumbered by the “brothers” who had more guns and were willing to use them).

Blanco pulled a ‘Lawton Chiles’ of the Hurricane Andrew disaster, in the aftermath of Katrina... progressives doctrine “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.”

Before Katrina hit, four times Bush asked Blanco directly to make a decision on what NOLA needed from the federal government... and four times she said she wasn’t ready to decide. Then, when the hurricane rolled in, she ran to the nearest TV cameras and ginned up tears, while the criminally corrupt Nagin cussed up a blue storm, blaming Bush for a “total lack of federal resources.”

That, along with Nagin’s refusal to use those 400+ school buses, I will never forget or forgive. Both Nagin and Blanco deserved severe consequences for criminal negligence. Raw politics was more important to them than an orderly evacuation of NOLA.

She opposed sending in the National Guard saying that she didn’t want good people to be put in harms way.

Scary military guys with guns are a no no.

The incompetence of dims running government was on full display during Katrina. Nagin was a complete racist and an idiot.
