These folks aren't happy with anything, complaining about what they do not have and when they get stuff it is not enough.
She better learn to respect her military folks.
She must go .... yep ... I am a broken record on this issue.
Where does one begin, what the hell do these folks want?
How dare the military bring their attitude and put an end to the looting and snipers and roaming gangs that her state was ill-prepared to handle. The nerve! We know she wanted some more tea and sympathy - for herself! - while some of her constituents wade waist deep in toxic waters and others had no food and water.
And now that the cavalries of military to police the place and aid workers to help feed, clothe and care for the victims and the volunteers putting their own lives at risk and on hold have ridden in, it's not good enough either.

Or not good enough or soon enough. Disheartening, isn't it? Some are truly helpless but many are just biting at the hands that try to feed them. Nanny-state thinking revealed at it's lowest point. She needs to step aside. Maybe Haley Barbour isn't too busy to fill in for her, while still managing his disaster scene, until someone better suited than Gov Weepy can be found.
Ping for Gov Weepy.
Blank-O needs to be recalled, imo.
Just heard a clip that she didn't want to turn law enforcement over to the Guard, what an idiot.
May she rot in hell,, make that NO., the closest thing to hell these days locally.
""We had no idea the president was coming," said Blanco's communications director, Robert Mann, adding that the governor was forced to cancel a trip to visit evacuees in Houston so she could meet with Bush."
POOR BABY, FORCED TO CHANGE HER PRECIOUS PLANS!
I can't believe this governor is throwing a hissy fit in the midst of an almost unimaginable disaster.
She needs to resign. Yesterday.
Why is this idiot still in office? She is soooo useless. Nagin is doing her in slow but sure, unfortunately he's not taking any responsibility for his actions.
MA is taking in 2500 refugees at the Otis Air National Guard Base. They will be collecting unemployment bennies without having to prove they actually had a job. There are MA citizens without jobs that are not being offered the same bennies. The Gov wants anyone with a week off to volunteer their time to Otis ANG Base to cook, clean and mind the kids, EXCUSE ME, none of the 2500 know how to cook, clean or take care of kids??? This is absurd.
Ed Schultz is on the radio, he was the biggest liberal on the air last week.
He went to Gulfport, Miss. over the weekend, with the National Guard......
He cannot say enough good about how the Guard and Military is working, the hours, their service in this disaster.
He is interviewing all the ranks and doing a good show.
One officer told him that this was " a piece of cake, after
ten months in Iraq".
I never thought that I would suggest anyone listen to Ed Schultz, but if you want a good up to date report, he is
giving it. He will be replayed, as I find him all over the dial, when I don't want him.
He was in complete awe of the Pilots, who when the helicopter quit running, set it down and climbed on top to do the mechanic work and get it back in the air.
Another one came in and picked Ed up to continue his trip.
I of course agree with him, "God Bless our troops".
Waiaminut! I thought all the anti-Bush wackos said that FEMA and the National Guard were under federal control and that Blanco was out of the authority chain so this lack of response is all Bush's fault?
At the suggestion of writer Michelle Malkin last Friday, I have cobbled together a blogsite called Texas Clearinghouse for Katrina Aid to serve as a clearinghouse for refugee efforts in Texas.
Texas is getting more refugees than any other state -- that's fine, we'll take them all -- but we need help providing them with food, clothing, and shelter.
If you are a refugee, you can information that will help you find relief. If you want to donate or volunteer, you can find someone who needs you.
Right now the site mostly covers Houston and Dallas but I will add various churches, schools, and other charities in San Antonio and Ft. Worth tonight. My wife is down at Reunion Arena in Dallas as we speak handing out care packages and otherwise ministering to the refugees as a representative of her employer.
There are a lot of churches and other organizations in Texas that need help in dealing with the problem and I would be most appreciative if you would get the word out.
Many thanks,

Stingray blogsite
Just another DIM shooting their foot with their mouth. It should be interesting to see BlankO and NADAgin get grilled with the timelines and facts later.
I was just listening to Brit Hume, and he said that Gov Blanko said she rejected the administration's legal offer to take over the effort because it was too complex. I'm speechless. What a stupid brain dead liberal woman. While she dithered people died.
