Scroll down for this article. But, it is very telling as to why the Dems have tried to get out in front of this. It really was all about shifting blame and getting the first knocks in on Bush before the real truth came out.

More from the article:

"There is a very good reason everyone down there has clammed up about beating on the President," says the Homeland Security staffer. "The only people who continue to do it are the likes of [Tim] Russert and the New York Times, and they are just feeding off the tragedy for political gain, nothing more. In the end, it's the very people they have been listening to for the past week that they will have to put under a microscope."

Yup. The Dems of New Orleans and Lousiana are nothing more than a Thieve's Guild - no surprise that they were found wanting when catastrophe demanded they do something that wasn't self-serving... like lead.

When Frist said he was going to have hearings, some FReepers thought he was turning against the President. Other, wiser, Freepers said it was a shot across the bow at LA Democrats, threatening to bring out their corruption into the light. I see these latter FReepers were right.

excellent calling of the ole bluff

Agreed.

I believe Hurricane Katrina just exposed the mother lode of political corruption. Looks like the valley of Waterloo for the Democratic party.

Howlin -- over here. Read this!

Does that have to be excerpted?

If not, you should post the whole thing; chocked full of stuff.

Maybe this explains why Nagin is sooo complimentary of Bush. And why Nagin and Blanco seem to have a distant relationship?????

To hear Sen. Landruei talk you would think LA has not gotten any Federal Money ever. She cannot open her mouth without talking about Federal Dollars for LA.

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.

If I were a local politician or a state or local bureaucrat down there, I'd be nervous about now."

Yes I would !!!

Senator dishrag attack Democraps? He's too much of a wuss to pull the constitutional option! Frist is creole for giant walking vagina!

When the power is back on in LA, there may be a blackout from all the shredders being used.

Political retribution would be sweet, but I hope the bigger result of Katrina will be an expansion of domestic energy production and distribution.

I find it very interesting that the Dems have created and/or enabled this massive media attack machine against the President that may actually come back to bite them on the fanny this time.
The more the media call for investigations the more of the Dems incompetence and corruptions will come into view.
