Who did the interview. Sean just played it in it's entirety and both the Mayor and the interview were crying.

They should exile Nagin to Haiti for the rest of his natural life. There are thopusands of bodies floating in the floodwaters of New Orleans because of him.

You know, I keep hearing that all these "refugees" are poor people who could not afford cars and thus could not evacuate before the storm. EXCUSE ME! Those homes from which I see people being plucked from roofs are not owned by unemployed/welfare families. Those people had cars and stayed because they thought they knew better than the weather reporters: that they could ride it out as they have others; that the media was just hyping the storm because there was nothing more exciting going on. Some had real issues like elderly or sick family members that they did not want to "upset", but most could have gotten HAD THE MESSAGES FROM THE GOVERNOR AND THE MAYOR BEEN DELIVERED WITH AN AUTHORITATIVE, MATTER OF FACT - DO IT OR DIE - TONE. Also, I am sick of people equating poverty with lawlessness. Because one is poor does not mean one is a criminal. That is determined by the way people are raised - with or without values. Too many today are raised without values.

The National Guard is under the auspices of the Governor.
What was she doing?

She deployed but a fraction of the guard available in the state.

Does that make her "fiscally conservative", or just another Lib waiting for someone else to pick up the tab? Arkansas has sent troops. God bless 'em.

The video of that same scene is even better! Hope somebody somewhere has had the VCR cranked up and on a lot of footage that has been floating around, much of which shall never be seen again after this is over.

"School buses!" he ranted with disdain, "School buses! Where are the Greyhounds? Why isn't every bus company coming here to rescue these people."
Oh, yeah. The sainted "African-American community" can't be expected to travel in such low style, you see. No. The welfare state slaves require Greyhounds. Nothing else will do.
You see, in liberal land it's better to live in your own extrement under threat of assassination than suffer the indignity of travelling cheap.

Great Picture of an opportunity,
Diesel Mechanics, we have a few projects. If they can't be buses anymore lets make'm into trucks and start getting the Gulf Coast back into operating condition!
I'm tired of the finger pointing and crying!
The Greatest Generation didn't whine and cry, they got busy.
(Also...Get the STUPID Regulations out of the way! And all former New Orleans Welfare recipients need to Work to collect a Welfare Check, we have lots of work!)
There goes TT being insensitive again

I wonder what Jesse Jackson Jr. and the rest of the Congressional Gerrymandered Congress will say about the buses?
To: Reactionary
Err. Make that "excrement."
To: SeaBiscuit
I'll pay myself on the back too. Early early this morning I began posting that the scene in NO was just like Somalia!
Now some in the media are also comparing NO to Somalia.
Altho I did hear Wolf Blitzed liken it to Africa.....when people rushed the helicopters for supplies.

After seeing the caravan roll into N.O. today, it is obvious the mayor was out of the loop on any of the measures being taken to alleviate the problems.
His rant this morning on CNN does not square up with the caravan that started rolling into the city at 9 a.m.

We're talking about before the storm, LPC...not afterwards.
