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.

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 have never been to New Orleans, but my son has, and he intensely disliked the city. His job took him to some of the non-tourist areas of the city, and he told me the abysmal conditions in the poorer neighborhoods.

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.

Nice try, but I'm not buying.

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.

You're right. Racism simply does NOT exist.

And besides, even if it DID exist, it would not be polite to point it out. POLITE people simply look the other way, and excuse the unthinkable.
