But there is something going on here. Something more than an incompetent woman sitting on a couch stuffing herself with bon-bons while people die in New Orleans.
I really didn't know HOW bad until the last few days, when I have been seeing those shacks that people were living in (and I presume were rentals...another disgrace). It looked like Haiti.
Now, I ask myself, how can a city allow such deplorable conditions? In Indianapolis, homes like those are declared public health hazards and condemned.
I want to know where all the money came from for the Stadiums, casinos, etc. And I want to know where all the Homeland Security money the feds sent them wwent. I know $500,000 went to Wesley Clark and James Lee Witt's consulting company.
I think the FBI should take over the New Orleans city hall, for starters, before too many records are destroyed.
Some folks just aren't cut out for leadership. When the $#!+ hits the fan, they freeze or freak. Without Hurricane Katrina, Blanco would have had an undistinguished career as a corrupt political hack, and retired into pleasant obscurity. But that wasn't to be; she was faced with a true crisis, and fell apart. Where leadership was called for, the best she could come up with was fear and panic. "When in danger, or in doubt: Run in circles, scream and shout!"
I don't think she was sitting on a couch scarfing bon-bons. She appeared to me to be alternately frozen with fear and running around like a chicken with its head cut off, dithering, blithering, and contradicting herself, totally incapable of decisive action. I've seen the phenomenon first hand, on a smaller scale.
As a result her ineptitude, good people died.
None of this excuses your puking up the race card on a public forum like this. This is exactly the sort of nonsense the leftists have been throwing at The President, and for which some of us have been vigorously condemning them.
I find it very difficult to believe that anyone is as incompetent and stupid as Blanco has been -- even if they are a leftist. I truly wonder if there is something else going on here. The term "genocide" here is somewhat over the top, yes, I'll agree.
