WHY DIDN'T YOU DEPLOY THE BUSES, MAYOR?... New Orleans Lost Opportunity
WHY DIDN'T YOU DEPLOY THE BUSES, MAYOR?...
Exactly right.
Name, rank, serial number, please...
Here is the difference in a nutshell:
Guilliani and Pataki telling the counrty after 9-11:
"we're gonna do A!
we're gonna do B!
we're gonna do C!"
Blanco, Landrieu, Nagin asking the country after Katrina"
where is A?
where is B?
where is C?
"After you listen to his rant on the local radio station, you will understand from what his mentality is and who elected him."
Exactly. Maybe this will make people stop and think before pulling a lever or punching a chad. Maybe they'll vote for the most capable candidate instead of the most PC, or the one that matches their color.

That picture and that quote get loose and the Honorable Mayor better just stay away from New Orleans. He'd be strung up by his own "brothers" faster than Jesse Jackson can race bait.
IT WASN'T AN ELECTION!!!!!!!!!!!
BINGO.
She's heading down to New Orleans now to protest our military troops dealing with the armed extremists in the city and for trying to save lives when it just puts our soldiers lives at risk.
Is that a rail line I see to the south southeast ? ( Bottom right anyway )?????
How many can you move out in boxcars and flatbeds as the floodwaters start ?
Good observation. I've been thinking the same thing. I doubt that the air intakes are under water. A starter will still crank an engine while underwater too. I have had had to start a few semi-suberged diesels in my time.
They never have any usable ideas on any issue, the only thing they can do is obstruct and blame.
Not one Democrat down there can make a decision?
It seems that almost everyone here thought of those buses, school buses, Greyhounds and any other sort of drivable equipment SHOULD have been used. But that would require thinking and it is impossible for a Democrat to do that.
Does anyone have satellite pics of the Bus parking lot?
I tried google earth but could not find it.
At a bare minimum, isn't this gross negligence of stewardship over public property that the mayor and governor took an oath of office to uphold? Even if they didn't use the buses for evacuation, shouldn't they have been moved to above sea level at the very least? I just don't understand how Nagins and the governor could have been caught so flatfooted on this. In the past,every time that there was a storm in the gulf that remotely threatens NO, all we heard was the doomsday scenarios of flooding and such. Year after year. If they were in N.Dakota and got hit with a major hurricane, I would understand their surprise, but not in NO. I guess when you condition the majority of the city's population to look to the government for sustenance we shouldn't be surprised when they are unable to fend for themselves when it really mattered. I am surprised that someone who rose the the leadership position of a major US city apparently did so without any aptitude for leadership.

He was waiting for the Ken Hamblin, The Black Avenger, to get there from Denver!
With instructions for "How to be Darktown's mayor now that one is actually needed - IE your looting, Mr mayor, is now officially over -- and that of them you-all's been shaftin's about to begin!
And with Certificates of Absolution for all of the relevant folks.
"there's about 150 [buses]in that picture I bet"
I counted 237. At 60 people each, that's 14,220 people that could have been evacuated.
If the mayor is not a drug addict now (as he states) he sure will be one before this is over.
