Only God knows how much needless death and suffering could have been avoided if that mayor had used them.
If justice exists...

The controvery over Lake Nagin is just beginning and it will be a scandal for years to come. Thousands of school buses in N.O. just parked there. This is Mayor Nagin's incompetence above all.
But the left will blame Bush: "Why didn't Bush ordered those school buses to evacuate people before storm hit. Bush hates black people..." blah blah blah
You know I agree with you-- and what is horrid, "The Mare," and his cohort, the blank-minded Governor, will not only get off Scott-free ( they belong to favored minorities the Tired Old Media would never dare question closely ) they will probably stay in office.
The billions of dollars aimed at LA and NO will assure that their supporters have a keen and vested interest in keeping their partners in graft, corruption, bribes, & kickbacks in place, eager to dole out favors.
And the buses could have taken at least one load of people out, had the evacuation been ordered sooner. Probably they didn't have the nod from the right bus driver's union, or sumfin.
