Playing Poker with Democrats , the Blame Game of Katrina

Time to think about a real investigation.

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

The screaming at others by the negligent is a futile attempt to divert attention from their own failures.

It is exactly the behavior of young, misbehaved children.

Good post! ;)

Great Summary BTW.

Yep Repbs should demand it and shout from the roof tops just who commanded the Louisiana Guard from Aug 27 to Sept 3. Hint of room temperature intellects in the Dinosaur Media. It is NOT President Bush.

Good post.

Very much agreed and it is the behavior of many adults today too.

Holy cow! It's pouring outside and the thunder and lightning are going nuts. I'm blaming the Democrats.

[CMailBag]

I call them "Political LOOTERS" , they just can't resist grabbing anything that's loose.

[FreedomCalls]

Good job.

[TASMANIANRED]

Projection is the hall mark of Liberals.

Accuse others of what you are actually doing.

I'm not too worried about the impact of this in the long term. Sure, the Democrats will be able to yell loud and long about the alleged "failings" of the Bush Administration, employing their usual "big lie" strategy.

But once the facts start coming out (as this synopsis already reveals), their cynical partisan exploitation of this disaster will become readily apparent. Also apparent will be the way the Bush Administration is working through the crisis, overcoming the rank incompetancies being demonstrated at the state and local level in LA, without becoming bogged down in playing the blame game.

I think the administration should get the word out in press conferences about the real truth and the real reasons things took time. The president has never been good at defending his position and it is crucial he becomes more active in pointing out the lies of the left press. The White house needs to hammer these punks before this gets more out of hand than it already has become. The administration has allowed this feeding frenzy to continue and they should kill it now. This is my only complaint with the way the President has handled this disaster.

You would think that the looney-tunes lefties would have learned by now. Every time they go at W he winds up pulling the rug out from under them. The best analogy is that of the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote. The Democrats are buying a lot of stuff from Acme, but it's not doing them any good.

There's a Democrat Mayor, a Democrat City Council, a Democrat Chief of Police, a Democrat Attorney General, a Democrat Governor, a Democrat Lt. Governor, 24 of 39 Louisiana State Senators are Democrat, 67 of 105 Louisiana State House Representatives are Democrat, there's a Democrat Representative in the House from New Orleans, and one of two Senators in the Senate is a Democrat.

After their initial assault, the DIMS and MSM have grown quite, because it's worse than anyone thought, and (my guess) their internal polling showed it to be a non-winner.

They are trying to patch up any damage they may have done by immediately politicizing this.

An investigation will have only two conclusions...

1. We shouldn't build cities in a bowl surrounded by sea.

2. If we do, we should build walls to the sky to keep the water out.

So who's to blame?...anyone who didn't press hard enough to build walls to the sky and spent the money needed to do it on other things. That gets down to the local level. The local level is DIM, so we probably won't hear a whole lot more about this in the MSM.

Not yet. The President and the Administration HAVE to be seen doing what they are doing: steadfastly managing this crisis despite all the partisan arrows that are being shot their way.

Counterpunching on this is best left to the pajamaheeden/New Media. And from the looks of it (school bus pictures, that FEMA response plan from 2003 that talked about using school busses, et), they are doing a phenominal job of it.

[TASMANIANRED]

Can't trust the MSM.

[golfisnr1]

There won't be an investigation.
The Dems will see to that.

[TASMANIANRED]

The White House has not had a good spokesman since Ari.

What a loss he was.
