I'm listening to Blanco on FOX right now. She is not directly answering some questions by slightly changing the subject. When asked if Bush called her and asked her to evacuate she sais "that plan wds already in place" and did not directly answer the question.

In my opinion her days are numbered.

It's not Bush's fault she issued a voluntary evacuation order, and the mayor of NOLA wondered if he had such authority to issue an order, or if that authority came from the White House.

I believe you are correct. For that matter, this may kill the entire Dhimmicrat party in LA as it is mostly a red-state still clinging to it's Dixiecrat heritage.

She is absolutely correct. The Plan WAS in place. She just never carried it out.

The Southeast Louisiana Hurricane Evacuation and Sheltering Plan specifically stated: "5. The primary means of hurricane evacuation will be personal vehicles. School and municipal buses, government-owned vehicles and vehicles provided by volunteer agencies may be used to provide transportation for individuals who lack transportation and require assistance in evacuating."

Why was it so critical to evacuate?

OK,
I posted this on another thread,
but did you hear her today on Fox insisting that buses WERE used in the evac?

ARGH!

And like one of my employees just said,
Why wasn't the mayor or the governor at the Superdome?

Blanco should read Blanko. If her plan was already in place, then it went according to her plan but it was a really bad plan.

I saw that, and about 45 minutes later she was interviewed (split screen unlike FOX which was just phone, so you could see her squirm)by CNN's Soledad O'Brien.

Amazingly, Soledad was much tougher and direct with her than FOX.
