You tried to unfairly blame the President but read this from MSNBC's own website:
Updated: 9:48 a.m. ET Sept. 4, 2005 (
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/9189916) Shortly before midnight Friday, the Bush administration sent her a proposed legal memorandum asking her to request a federal takeover of the evacuation of New Orleans, a source within the state's emergency operations center said Saturday.
The administration had sought control over National Guard units, normally under control of the governor. Louisiana officials rejected the request, noting that such a move would be comparable to a federal declaration of martial law. State authorities suspected a political motive behind the request. "Quite frankly, if they'd been able to pull off taking it away from the locals, they then could have blamed everything on the locals," said the source, who is an adviser and does not have the authority to speak publicly.
Blanco made two moves Saturday that protected her independence from the federal government: She created a philanthropic fund for the state's victims and hired James Lee Witt, Federal Emergency Management Agency director in the Clinton administration, to advise her on the relief effort.
You showed your true liberal colors, Tim, and if you do not offer a full apology to President Bush and his administration, I will do everything in my power to have NBC remove you or I will not watch any NBC program and will not buy any product advertised on NBC. I will let these advertisers know of this.
Let's flood NBC and their advertisers with like messages...
If the feds had moved in without the permission from Gov. Blancho, the President would have violated the Constitution and federal law. It would be impeachment time; especially if Katrina had fizzeled out or gone elsewhere (as some were expecting to do). I suspect a game of gotcha was in play here.
Here are some appropriate phone numbers:
MTP: 202 885 4598
NBC News: 212 664-4444
I called both yesterday after watching MTP. MTP's message box was full; I did leave a message at the 212 number and requested that they immediately remove Russert. His "performance" yesterday was truly shameful. NBC and MSNBC have gone off the deep end. CNN is outrageous (Wolf Blitzer yesterday was putrid), and I sent them a gazillion emails, but didn't bother to try to find a number for them.
Hey -- ol' clumsy-fingers-'puter-dummy, here, actually got the message sent to Tim Russert!
That was fun. Let's do it again. We could jam their digitaliasss...
