Well, to heck with them! Apparently "loyalty" is a foreign concept to them. And Newt Gingrich is not only making critical comments, but setting impossible goals...like rebuilding New Orleans before Mardi Gras 2006!
I don't care HOW conservative Newt Gingrich is; he is a weasel on a par with Bill Kristol, and I will NEVER vote for him. Ever. Not even for dog catcher.
And Howlin, I think Louisiana is totally corrupted on both sides. I am beginning to think those folks that were evacuated should just settle in wherever they are and thenk God they got out!
And I would also like to say that a lot of Louisiana politicians are LOW CLASS PEOPLE, who use vulgar terms and sound like ignoramuses.
And I REALLY want to see a lot more of General Honore, who had me standing in my family room cheering!
Newt's my former Congressman. Disgraceful. I have written him and told him he lost my my vote. If you can't woo your own constituents it's pretty bad.
As for Honore, a list of my favorite Honore quotes:
"If it's easy, it would have been done already."
"If you ever have 20,000 people come to supper, you know what I'm talking about. If it's easy, it would have been done already
"By-and-large, these are families that are just waiting to get out of here. They are frustrated; I would be, too. I get frustrated at the cash register counter when the paper runs out."
"Worse things have happened to America," he added. "We're going to overcome this, too. It's not our fault. The storm came and flooded the city."
An NBC reporter asked General Honore "What's taking so long?" Honore answered: "This is a Disaster. This isn't something somebody can control. We ain't stuck on stupid. "
Well said! Maybe some of us should send Newtie a little email telling him that he just lost our vote in 2008 - if he keeps this up, he can forget running as NO ONE will vote for him, except perhaps a couple of moderates who don't know better.
Bobby and Vitters may need to go to the woodshed, too, they're disgusting.
