I was watching O’Reilly re-run for tonight and he finally got it on who did really screw it up during and after hurricane Katrina. He finally pointed out the two main guilty parties, governor Blanco of Louisiana and mayor Nagin of New Orleans. He also had a guest on his show who further elaborated that Blanco and Nagin incompetence and lack of leadership were the main reason for the cause of the mess that occurred in the first 48 hours after hurricane Katrina.
Finally!
PS: His poll question about grading the authorities for their performance on Katrina is very unfair and biased because he is lumping the incredibly incompetent local and state Louisiana auhtorities with the much better performing federal authorities and of course our superb military.
I sent some links to articles, exposing the weak spots in the evacuation plan, and the rampant corruption of those in power in LA, that I ran across last night. I think he read them and finally came around to see the light.
Poll question soooo skewed - correct.
But, that does not mean Chertoff and Brown were also incompetent at their level.
Nagin and Blanco are elected. They hopefully will be fired at next electiuon -- better yet removed from office asap.
Brown and Chertoff are appointed and therefore should be in the unemployment line next month.
The 'rats are quickly losing interest in the "blame game" now that it looks like they are going to get clobbered.
I say, don't let up. They have spent the last week - the crucial period, posturing and calling 'rat central to get marching orders and talking points. Now that help is on the way, let's start pressing to show who REALLY screwed up and cost lives.
Meanwhile, egocentric interviewer Donny Deutsch continues to say "Rudy was a leader during 9-11. Bush really missed it this time." He needs to do some more reading. Someone send him those articles!
No, sorry, it's all Bush's fault. I know this because Charlie Gibson said so on tv.
Blanco and Nagin are probably like, get the Natalee Holloway story back on cable tv.
Too bad O'Reilly still doesn't have a clue when it comes to basic economics and gas prices. He still thinks you can fix the market by somehow cutting company profits. We tried that (windfall profits tax). It just discourages competition in the market. High prices and high profits encourage competition and discourage waste/inefficiency.
O'Reilly Poll questions are always stupid. It amazes me. they're either vague or not specific enough (too general)
How hard is it to come up with a good incisive question? Yet week after week they stink!
Whoooooooooooooooooooo???!!! Who the heck is Donny Deutsch?!
yea, but he got it wrong about Homeland Security knowing that people were without food and water.
He said they should have watched the news, I think they were a little too busy to watch the news.
They were depending on the information that was being fed to them first hand not from the press.
Bill got it wrong.
Then don't partake in them. I don't.
Evacuation plan?
What plan?
Buses?
What buses?
Left-wing media! Please, help us!! Tell 'em again it is all Bush's fault!!!
Rush talked about the buses this morning!
a deutch bag
i dunno
You know Bill O'Reilly and his stupid "fair and balance" crap, he always wants to throw something at the federal authorities just to say look at me I am being fair and balance by criticizing all sides. He blamed the federal authorities tonight to a lesser degree than what he did in the previous nights but he definitely pointed out tonight and that the main problems were Blanco and Nagin, and he did so to Nagin for the first time since hurricane Katrina crisis has begun.
