In the category of the road to hell is paved with good intentions, a ten bus caravan headed from Washington, D.C. to bring back 400 Katrina victims from New Orleans is mired in confusion and poor planning somewhere down South.
The rescue caravan, organized by D.C. City Council member David Catania, was reported by WUSA-TV reporter Bruce LeShan to be stopped in the middle of nowhere before reaching its destination.
LeShan, who is stuck on the caravan and called in his report, said there is no gas to be had, no hotels with vacancies and that the drivers pulled over because after being on the road for 24 hours the drivers just couldn't drive anymore.
He also said the buses are old and rickety and can't go very fast.
The caravan was organized independently by Catania without coordination with the federal government.
The WUSA anchor in the Washington studio was stunned at LeShan's report of the cluster foxtrot.
God help the people of New Orleans if those buses do get there. They'll be delivered unto New Orleans on the Potomac.

Typical Dems - no plan - just forge ahead - and be rescued (we hope) by the government.

no hotels with vacancies
Sorry but I can't help it--I am on the floor laughing.
I guess the thought of planning the trip, including stops, never entered their minds.
The telephone has been around for well over a hundred years. I guess they couldn't figure out how to use one.
