There are still residents refusing to evacuate even at this late date. Unbelievable! It may be politically incorrect to say this, but when the hell is the media going to start blaming the stubborn citizens who refused to evacuate for all this chaos?
That helicopter crash yesterday wasn't the fault of the pilot. It was the fault of the ignorant citizens who refused to leave before the storm and now refuse to leave after the storm. But I bet they'll be bitching and moaning if they change their minds in a few days and have to wait more than a few minutes for their ride out of town.
As long as people ferry these folks food, water and medicine, they will never leave. I know it sounds harsh, but the only way to get them out is to starve them out. But nobody is going to want to take the political responsibility for denying anything to the residents of New Orleans, so this will not be allowed to happen.
So you are going to have stubborn morons staying in their homes, getting twice daily deliveries of hot meals by helicopter and bitching that there isn't enough salt in the paella. And you'll probably have a CNN camera right there to record their complaints.
They will never blame the residents of New Orleans...they might be labeled "racist".

I was reminded yesterday, that during Hurricane Floyd, an announcement was made via television that those who would not follow the mandatory evacuation were advised to write their name and next of kin on their arm with a permanent marker so their bodies could be identified.
Problem solved.
I'll bet his next gig is with CNN as a political commentator.
NEVER. Just as the liberal MSM will never place one shread of blame on state and local officials. It's "Blame Bush Fest 2005". Any other scenerio is irrelevent to them.
