Just for fun -- and since Tim Russert had a damn fit today -- I decided that since this was such a BIG DEAL and everybody in the world KNEW what a bad storm this was going to be, I looked back to see what Russert had on his show last week.

MEET THE PRESS (NBC): U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad; retired Gens. Wesley Clark, Wayne Downing, Barry McCaffrey and Montgomery Meigs.

Hmmm....I wonder why Mr. Know-It-All wasn't sounding the alarm last week?

Usually Russert is a little, but not much more informed, about when he excortiates the administration.

His decidedly biased guests threw a lot of biased barbs at Bush, Iraq war and FEMA.

Especially questions about not evacuating the poor by buses, trains and air planes.

Everyone failed to mention that hundreds of city buses are as this is written, still sitting in their New Orleans parking lot under flood water.

Buses that should have been used to transport people out of the city.

One guy broke down and cried and that is understandable.

Everyone is under tremendous stress.

However, the city official whose mother drowned could have and should have been evacuated when Bush first declared New Orleans a disaster area two days before the hurricane hit land.

This city official who left his mother in harms way bears full responsibility for her death.

He also should be horse whipped for not having the common sense to take responsible action for the citizens he represents.

How the hell can trusting citizens depend on city officials who do not even have the commons sense to obey orders asking them to leave a dangerous area.

Responsibility is something that many lame brained Democrat politicians are running away from these days in Louisiana and else where.

Governor Blanco could have asked sooner for federal help but instead she was playing a payback game with New Orleans Mayor Nagin.

The problem is that Blanco, in playing her pay back game with the mayor, sat on her butt until it was almost to late to do anything.

I believe that Blanco is in way over her head and is looking for any way out.

Why else would she go out and hire former FEMA director James Lee Witt to help in deflecting the proverbial shit that is hitting the political fan.

What Russert and others need to remember is that the Internet trumps the bias of all network politics.

People are not even in their graves and the sorry blame game has started.

Already, liberals are chomping at the bit to impeach Bush for some imagined dereliction of duty.

I keep saying that maybe Bush should have gone down to New Orleans and possibly driven the bus to haul out the worthless politicians.
