What else needs to be said.
Because their Democrat Mayor and their Democrat Governor left them stranded like drowning rats in a flood basin they knew or should have know was a death trap instead of evacuating them.
Shortly before midnight Friday, the Bush administration sent her a proposed legal memorandum asking her to request a federal takeover of the evacuation of New Orleans, a source within the state's emergency operations center said Saturday.
The administration sought unified control over all local police and state National Guard units reporting to the governor. Louisiana officials rejected the request after talks throughout the night, concerned that such a move would be comparable to a federal declaration of martial law.

Amazing clarity ...
The mayor prefers being a playboy and a glad hander, enjoying the fruits of political position. It is unfair to ask him to perform, especially in a crisis. He reminds me of Bill Clinton. Aren't we fortunate that neither Clinton or Gore were in office for 9/11 and Katrina? Louisiana had Nagin and Blanco, adding Clinton or Gore to that would be cruel and unusual.
Excellent!!!
Thanks for posting
Thanks Rush Limbaugh!
Once upon a ping....
Kathleen Miller who said, "Evidently the libs are able to get those same people to the polls to vote on Election Day. Apparently it wasn't important enough to evacuate them to save their lives. The hypocrisy is stunning."
I NEVER HEARD A MORE TRUE STATEMENT!
