I used to view Russert as one of the few straight shooters on the left side. I've now lost all respect for him.

Well Hillary must not have gotten the memo because she's still calling for a Commission to review the lateness of the response. Which would open up a can of worms about the corruption in LA.

Outstanding! This is going to get interesting in the weeks ahead!Like I told Howling last week, "wait until Congress gets involved, things will get interesting".
I could see this coming right after the fingers of blame pointed at the White House in light of all the nonsense coming from the NOLA mayor and "Governor Blame-Co".

What it hit chicago I didn't realize that?The corruption eminating from NOLA goes far and beyond that of Chicago. The corruption in Chicago is nothing compared to the decades of Democrat corruption of NOLA.

Dems figure that by the time any investigation is launched into the response to Katrina, it won't be front page news. And if by some stretch of bad luck it is, they'll lie. With a complicit MSM, they expect to dodge the bullet.

I'd love to see each one of those LA Democrats sobbing on their way to prison for absconding the American taxpayer.

Crying thinking of the federal penitentiary?
To: plushaye
I like this idea ... a forensic audit. Normally used in the business world and in law enforcement to answer the basic questions: who, what, when, where, why and how much. Dealing with theft of course, in one form or another. Could be money or other property.
I like this, especially if someone else will also follow the trail of documents and actions of the players involved. Simultaneously. If money was misspent maybe it should be reimbursed, with interest of course. (Although I do not believe politicians have the stomach for that, applied against themselves that is.)
Now the question is who can do this fairly, consistently, conscientiously and will not sacrifice the truth --- that both parties can agree on. (Otherwise it is useless.)
Oh, And please no more "shadow participants previously involved in the machinations" like those placed on the 9-11 Omission Commission.

Maybe, but they'll ask her what happened to all that money the Feds gave her and her brother for disaster relief. She can't cry her way out of that one.
The whole thing will turn into a "gee, I don't recall, I was baking cookies moment. Or who hired Craig Livingstone. Still nobody knows who hired Craig Livingstone. The Dims will deny, lie, completely run the subject around in circles until everybody gives up in frustration.

So true! But, isn't this the usual dem SOP? Throw all the blame on the president or republicans early on so the people hear that first and get all worked up over it. When the truth finally comes out, everyone os so sick of the whole mess that no one wants or cares to hear about it.It has served them well.
And of course you have a hundred news channels parroting their lies 24/7 and when the truth does come out, they conveniently half heartedly report it once buried in their stack of health issues or something and then move on to another feeding frenzy somewhere else. You can always tell when the medias reporting half truths is about to catch up with them. They move on to something else.

"Let's put it this way," says an Appropriations staffer. "There is a fair degree of certainty up here that dollars that should have gone for projects and programs that might have been helpful in New Orleans' time of need was never used for those purposes. If I were a local politician or a state or local bureaucrat down there, I'd be nervous about now."

Frist was down there at the makeshift hospital at the airport treating patients. As a doctor, I'm sure he was stunned and outraged at the lack of organization and planning for the care of the sick and dying. He saw people dying for no reason except a lack of planning. He is personally pissed and wants to get to the bottom of it. let the chips fall where they may, this is no time for either party to be accused of a coverup.

I say BRING IT ON. The first witness before Congress should be Mayor Clueless...He is dying to blame someone else and has lots to share...

Oh, I agree. But as many posters here on FR and other sites have noted, the evidence is more overwhelming to damn the Louisianna and N.O. governments than it is the federal government. Frist and co. can have all the facts on their side, but that will not stop the MSM from trying to turn it around on President Bush. They are not looking at it now, so what makes you think they (MSM) will not look at it 3 months or so down the road?

The corruption in Chicago is nothing compared to the decades of Democrat corruption of NOLA.I'm not so sure. Corruption in chicago is well entrenched and has been around for decades. Anyway, I think that local gov't, especially big cities, is in general corrupt and wasteful.
