Of all the Members of Congress, Nancy Pelosi has a better understanding of what went wrong in New Orleans than any other. Hold your fire. I don't mean the "understanding" that she demonstrates in the comments quoted here. No, I mean in her personal background.

Nancy Pelosi grew up as Nancy D'Alesandro in Baltimore, Maryland. (For a brief period, I was a next-door neighbor.) Her father, Tommy D'Alesandro, Jr., was Mayor and presided without indictment or conviction over a corrupt urban political machine. Her brother, Tommy, III, beat charges of rape (as a young man) and several for corruption (as Mayor).

In short, Nancy (D'Alesandro) Pelosi well understands corrupt urban politics, in which much money is stolen, incompetent people wind up in public office, and challenges can be turned into disasters because of that corruption and incompetence. Lastly, though the faces of the D'Alesandro Machine were mostly white, it worked hand in glove with the black organizations in the black districts.

So, as I said, Pelosi DOES understand the situation in New Orleans. And, if she told the truth, she would blame Mayor Nagin. But she can't do that, because she would be rejecting her own background and blaming her own father and brother.

Inspiring, aren't they!?

[NRA1995]

And Oprah wept......

"she would have a goatee!!!"

I catch your drift, and that is not a pleasant visual.

What about "stopping the politics of personal destruction?"

Will they ever learn?

The Rats will STEP IN IT AGAIN & AGAIN!

Another reason I will not be giving a single penny to the relief effort. Below is one of the prime reasons I refuse to give any money:

Democratic Underground has been raving about the rap lyrics below. Notice how this ass implies that anybody that supports Bush doesn't like black people (bold and italics). Not one f***ing dime from me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've had it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please spread this around so others can determine if they reall want to help such ungrateful scum.

Public Enemy front man Chuck D has written a new song addressing the natural disaster in New Orleans, Alabama, Mississippi and the issues that surround the region ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. In “Hell No We Ain’t Alright,” Chuck D sends a barbed message to government officials, the media, the military and even the Hip-Hop nation. The lyrics for the song were written on Sept. 2, the same day Kanye West rapped the treatment of African Americans suffering in the catastrophe live on the NBC television network. The rapper reportedly recorded the track over Labor Day weekend and is expected to distribute it shortly. Chuck D and Public Enemy have been long running activists in the rap community. Below are the lyrics to “Hell No We Ain’t Alright,” as written by Chuck D.

“Hell No We Ain’t Alright”

New Orleans in the morning, afternoon, and night

Hell No We Ain’t Alright

Now all these press conferences breaking news alerts

This just in while your government looks for a war to win

Flames from the blame game, names? Where do I begin?

Walls closing in get some help to my kin

Who cares?While the rest of the Bushnation stares

As the drama unfolds as we the people under the stairs

50% of this Son of a Bush nation

Is like hatin’ on Haiti

And setting up assassinations

Ask Pat Robertson- quiz him.... smells like terrorism.

Racism in the news/ still one-sided news

Saying whites find food/

prey for the national guard ready to shoot

‘Cause them blacks loot

New Orleans in the morning, afternoon, and night

Hell No We Ain’t Alright

Fires, earthquakes, tsunamis

I don’t mean to scare/ Wasn’t this written somewhere?

Disgraces all I see is black faces moved out to all these places

Emergency state, corpses, alligators and snakes

Big difference between this haze and them diamonds on the VMA’s



We better look/ what’s really important

Under this sun especially if you over 21

This ain’t no TV show/ this ain’t no video

This is really real/ beyond them same ole “keep it real”



Quotes from them TV stars drivin’ big rim cars

'Streets be floodin,’ B/ no matter where you at, no gas

Driving is a luxury

Urgency

State of emergency



Shows somebody’s government

Is far from reality....

New Orleans in the morning, afternoon, and night

Hell No We Ain’t Alright

I see here we be the new faces of refugees

Who ain’t even overseas but here on our knees

Forget the plasma TV-ain’t no electricity

New worlds upside down-and out of order

Shelter? Food? Wasssup, wheres the water?



No answers from disaster/ them masses hurtin’

So who the f**k we call?--Halliburton?

Son of a Bush, how you gonna trust that cat?

To fix s**t when help is stuck in Iraq?



Making war plans takin’ more stands

In Afghanistan 2000 soldiers dyin’ in the sand



But that’s over there, right?

Now what's over here is a noise so loud

That some can’t hear but on TV I can see

Bunches of people lookin’ just like me…

The Dems see this issue as fading. Otherwise they would have continued to remain silent while the media and RINOs carried their water.

[Grampa Dave]

Great summary.

Ted Kennedy survives due to the left media which enabled his coverup of manslaughter.

[alessandrofiaschi]

[Corin Stormhands]

We need the video of Pelosi saying that. I don't know where they were, but Hastert and a couple of others were standing behind her. When she went off on her tirade about Michael Brown, Hastert and the others vey sloooowly moved out of the camera shot.

It was classic.

"Dems Assail White House on [insert issue here]"

The Democrats are a party based on complaint without a single constructive idea among the lot of them.

The idea that an entire political party can become so completely eviscerated intellectually is scary, frankly.

Pox on the Democrats AND THE CAR THEY DROVE UP IN!! America is tired of voting these people out of office.. but we will do it again and again and again. The DNC offers nothing, they plan nothing, they spend other people's money and belly ache because there isn't any more. They have no agenda, and no cause except the blame game and GET BUSH!! Pox on the Democrats. To Hillary...you are to blame for the Hurrcaine that destroyed the south because you voted for setting the federal government up the way it is. What have you done Hillary????????????? Did you get down there to do anything but run back up to Washington and play the blame game???? Pox on the Democrats. The DNC is an utter and total failure. They are on the way out....sooner rather than later. Lets all help them leave!!!!!BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[Joe Brower]

Same stuff, different day. Utterly bereft of any ideas or solutions themselves, all the political left is capable of is shamelessly attacking those who are actually doing something.

God, but these Marxist demagogues are scum. Absolute scum.

Doom on them all.

[Verginius Rufus]

We're supposed to trust Pelosi on what Bush said to her? Right.

[TexasGreg]

We're supposed to trust Pelosi on what Bush said to her? Right.

What I want to know is ... why is she listening to her Bush?
