Was Nagin asked why the buses were not deployed?
What's an oprah?
I bet she'll ask him next about the busses!
NOT!!!!
Maybe she's wealthy because she's a pmshinc. (Post menopause single high income no chlidren.)
I hope your hubby checked his wallet and wristwatch after shaking Nagin's hands. Can't say I can recall a less competent leader. He makes the ordinary RAT look like a paragon of efficiency and leadership.
"He makes the ordinary RAT look like a paragon of efficiency and leadership."
I just thank God that Detroit isn't prone to many natural disasters.
I have not idea why people hate Oprah so much. I have never heard her espouse any political position. My husband can't stand her, but she is not a horrible person.
She's a successful woman who made something of herself....
No, and unless someone brings me a big bag of money, I never will. And that's just the way I like it.
Closing ranks.
This mayor has sent his employees on taxfunded trips to Las Vegas.
City to Offer Free Trips to Las Vegas for Officers***NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 4 - A day after two police suicides and the abrupt resignations or desertions of up to 200 police officers, defiant city officials on Sunday began offering five-day vacations - and even trips to Las Vegas - to the police, firefighters and city emergency workers and their families.
The idea of paid vacations was raised by both Mayor C. Ray Nagin and senior police officials who said that their forces were exhausted and traumatized and that the arrival of the National Guard had made way for the officers to be relieved.
"I'm very concerned about individuals who have been here, particularly since the first few days, and have been through a lot of hardship," Mr. Nagin said in an interview.
He said most of the police officers, firefighters and emergency medical workers "are starting to show signs of very, very serious stress, and this is a way to give them time to reunite with their families."
Mr. Nagin, who has been demanding more federal assistance for days as his city struggled with despair, death and flooding, said he had asked the Federal Emergency Management Agency to pay for the trips but the agency said it could not. He said the city, therefore, would pay the costs.
He said he believed there were now enough National Guard members in the city to allow the police to take a break and still keep the city secure, and he brushed off questions about whether such a trip might look like a dereliction of duty.
"I'll take the heat on that," Mr. Nagin said. "We want to cater to them."............They said that they were trying to get the first officers on their way on Monday and that the first stop would be Baton Rouge, about 75 miles from here.
There the officers will be given physical examinations and inoculations against possible infection from the polluted floodwaters, said Col. Terry Ebbert, the director of homeland security for the city, who has authority over the police and fire departments and other emergency services. ..........***

And now she makes scads of money convincing women that they're helpless victims who can't make it without "help," usually of the government variety.
Check out her Oprah's Book Club selections someday to see what I mean. Not a strong, healthy woman in ANY of those pages.
The tearjerky content and over-the-top stuff comes a bit close to "victimology" sometimes, but hey -- she's NO victim and she doesn't seem to cotton long to that ever-the-underclass mindset.
Ain't that the truth.
But on the bright side we now have a new work for incompetent beyond belief - a Nagin.
As in "That guy is so screwed up he is a real Nagin." or "Man you Nagined up that situation so bad it will take President Bush to straighten it out again."
I still think she was more outraged at not being let into that Paris store.
You must not have watched the show in a while. She says very empowering thing to women.
does she ask about the buses or not?
keep us posted. I never watch the show but planned on watching at 3PM (PST) after hearing some remarks from her on commericals promoting today's show. I'm sure it's another "Bush Fault" crap spread over millions of TV views. She's God to the blacks, and so one sided.
I didn't mean my comment "pmshinc" as a slight, just a slight joke. And sure seems to have fallen on the slight side.
I love it when a plan comes together.
I'm ignoring you.
