Finally, a breath of fresh air. A politician finally says something that makes sense.
Hastert is right--do NOT rebuild New Orleans as it is below sea level.
Did anybody catch Keith Oberman trashing Rice, Bush and everybody in the admin--he implied all could care less about what is going on. He noted Condi Rice was on vacation, crap like that. He failed to mention that the mayor is a major reason why lawlessness borke out.
Liberals always overplay their hands, their immature coverage is typical.
Not all of NO is below sea level and not all of it flooded. But when the next big quake hits San Francisco or LA, are we going to tell them not to rebuild because their area is an earthquake danger?
Hastert's a boob.
The levees will be repaired and the water will be pumped out.
There's obviously gonna be a LOT of cleanup, including the razing of condemned properties.
But there is also a LOT of valuable private property and infrastructure that can (and will) be salvaged and refurbished. It'll be expensive, but it will be done. So the number one objective for government should be to rebuild the levees so that they are MUCH more protective than what was there previously.
"Did anybody catch Keith Oberman trashing Rice, Bush and everybody in the admin--"
It's way past time to stop taking what Keith Olbermann says seriously. All we're doing is increasing his audience by watching him. Is the Secretary of State responsible for disaster relief? What a putz.
