how do you justify comments like that?

Ah, because it's the truth?

You do realize, don't you, that after the hurricane passed, if the levee hadn't breached, there would have been LESS problems in NO than anywhere else, right?

Plenty of places have been hit with storms that big and didn't decend into hell on earth.

He wasn't ignorant at all; what do you think he should have done, put his assets in there BEFORE the storm so they ALL would have been stuck?

It's obvious you haven't a clue what is involved with a relief effort of ANY hurricane, much less one where the state and local authorities are simpletons.

I live in NC; we don't sit around and wait for FEMA or the President of the United States to come save our butts.

And if you'll stop your ranting for a few minutes, you'll notice that Mississippi and Alabama aren't in the mess that ONE CITY is in -- and that's because they got up, dusted themselves off, and GOT TO WORK.

What a difference between Haley Barbour (for instance) and Gov. Blanco. Just compare who's cleaning up and putting it back together with who's whining and looking for someone to blame (besides herself).

omigosh, you are pulling an ostrich...if YOU lived next to tons of water held back by a concrete wall, would YOU hang around during and after ANY hurricane?

come on, howlin, everybody knew that levee could go at any minute. studies had been done on it for years.

there's no need to insult me. no one is talking about FEMA being the primary resource here. but this guy was clueless....CLUELESS...
