Gov. Kathleen Blanco was asked what she would do if a Category 5 hurricane hit Louisiana at a 2003 debate:
MODERATOR: Let’s assume for the moment that one of you is the next Governor of Louisiana. Lets also assume that there is a Category 5 hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico predicted to strike Louisiana within 36 hours. Other than praying, name five things you would immediately do as Governor, Ms. Blanco we start with you.
BLANCO: Well first we would organize the office of emergency preparedness, a very terrifically professional operation; we would then encourage everyone — wherever we can determine where this hurricane will be landing — to begin evacuation processes immediately. We must protect the safety of our citizens. Then I think the next thing we need to do, is make sure all of our citizens — will be working with the media of course — are prepared for the areas that wont have such a direct impact but they are positioned correctly. And I will be on the media working with you and telling our people how to prepare for this hurricane attack. We pretty well have noted that, that Louisiana have weathered these storms on many, many occasions.

Well ... at least she got the praying part right
WHOA!
This is GOLD.
I got a chuckle out of it
History coming back to smack her upside her head
So one of the first things she'd do is order an evacuation. And yet, a Level 5 was coming right at New Orleans and it took the President of the United States of America to ensure an evacuation?
I still get furious when I hear people blame the president for a late response to that hurricane. I almost can't talk and argue my case, I get so mad. LOL
Now part of my movie collection.
Gee, does Blank-stare talk about how she'd refuse to let Red Cross trucks with water and supplies that are within a mile of the stadium to go there because they'd "attract people to the stadium and act like a magnet"?
pfft!
Thanks for posting this .. I am extremely surprised that this movie did not get any play from the blogs or media -- I mean this proves how much of an idiot and liar she is.
If you want to help get this movie around, please email it!
Thanks, Ian
Thanks for the ping! :-)
