I suspect that a close look at post-Katrina New Orleans will expose a rat's-nest of corruption that will be prosecuted, and that is her greatest fear.

Would she be desperate enough that she would allow people to die to prevent discovery of her malfeasance? I find it hard to imagine that a human being could be so callous, cold or just plain stupid to that level.

Think it was one of her "let them eat cake" moments....In her case "Let them eat GUMBO"!

SHe is rather out of touch with the "REAL" world and probably didn't even think about "real" people dying.

I doubt it. My guess is that neither she nor Nagin took the hurricane seriously. That would explain the waterlogged buses and the lack of provisions in the Superdome.

I think the storm literally rocked their world - they never in a million years thought it would do what it did. When I saw the crowds still huddled outside the convention center, literally dying, it dawned on me. "They have no plan whatsoever." I'm really perceptive that way, sometimes. ;-)

But they were typical libs, too lazy to even look for the official disaster plan, and probably lacking the governmental structure to advise them of its existence. I think the whole thing caught them SO off guard. I think Nagin figured the easiest route..."What's the biggest place? The Superdome. Yeah, that sounds good."

I know you are intentionally being "over the top" with the genocide thing; but I for one appreciate the irony. It's the same as what the libs have been saying to Bush, so I would LOVE to see a reporter pose this question. Turnabout is fair play! :-)

But I think when everything is out in the open, both Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco are both going to end up smelling like...well, Lake Ponchartrain.

JUST MY GUESS.

Ever hear of Nazis?

Please. She is just one more in a long line of inept, callous, cold and stupid (take your pick).

There are people like this on every street corner and unfortunately some of them are in positions of authority.

Does she have reasons for her actions? Probably, but I am doubtful that mass murder is one of them. Covering her butt, I'll buy it. Plain stupidity, yep. It is a little hard to believe that both she AND the governor could both be so clueless.
