I'm with you .. what is occurring on TV is absolute BS
Many people were begging Blanco and the Mayor to declare a state of emergency before the storm hit and those pleas were ignored until the afternoon before the storm hit
Why didn't Tim Russert have Gov. Blanco on today along with Gov Haley Barbour ???
And I am sick to death of hearing how the National Guard, the Coast Guard, the rest of are military aren't doing enough .. while these Talking heads sit on their fat rear ends
Tim Russert had blood in his eye during that show I just watch and he intends to pin ALL of the blame on President Bush
Hey Timmy ... You want an investigation???
BRING ON PAL ... We'll start with opening up the books and find out where all that money went?
And why was it spent on the Casinos and other building projects other then the Levees???
1. Why didn't the mayor follow the Louisiana Evacuation plan?
2. Why were there so few National Guardsmen at the Superdome?
3. Why were there no porta-johns taken to the Superdome?
4. Why did the New Orleans police department have only one working boat?
5. Why was the New Orleans police department so poorly equipped that officers had to buy their own guns?
5. Where did all the FEMA money in Louisiana go? How much was taken by James Lee Witt and Wesley Clark, and why is Witt now being hired to review the same plan?
6. Where did the money the levee board had go? Did it fund a casino?
6. How come those buses never went to pick people up?
7. Why won't Governor Banco cede authority? What is she trying to hide?
I could go on and on, but you get my point, I'm sure. And I am NOT going to be nice about it. I will be calling every outlet I can find and asking these questions.
Tim sounded quite unhinged today. His nearly yelling questions at Chertoff was unprofessional in the extreme.
Howard Fineman really gave the game away a few days ago when he said they all supported the president after 9/11 but now will be going after him and won't make that mistake again. Or words to that effect.
