But overall, the Bush administration's funding requests for the key New Orleans flood-control projects for the past five years were slightly higher than the Clinton administration's for its past five years. Clinton Hates Black People

Louisiana is hardly unique in this respect. Let's not forget Alaska's quarter-billion dollar Bridge to Nowhere in the current transportation bill. That would build a lot of levees.

Don't bank on it. The MSM worm turned yesterday with the usual suspect text readers saying it is time to stop the bickering, finger pointing, infighting, and yadda, yadda, yadda. They have seen the light and were about to get bit in the arse, so now anything the right says will be partisan attacks. And "you can take that" to the bank.

The most corrupt state in the land has been mis-managing their money and I rather like Tancredo's idea that not one dime of the relief money flow through Louisiana.

Who cares about all that? The real issue is why FEMA didn't teleport New Orleans to higher ground before the levee broke. It's an outrage!
I know it could be done. I read it on the Internet!

In defense of Susan, she might be under the influence of pain killers from the last time she looked in the mirror. That woman must have to sneak up on a glass of water

Do I remember right that MSNBC's Campbell Brown's father is in jail for fraud or something like that in Louisiana? Can't recall if it was insurance fraud, or levees, or casinos... It just comes to mind reading this story.

Susan Estrich's head and voice aren't right. I'm not convinced she's a human being. Every time she's on TV, I think, "Quick! Call ART BELL! It's one of THEM!"

You know it's like an abused wife, she thinks that is how things are until she escapes and meets a really nice man and finds out you don't HAVE to live like that. You know it's like an abused wife, she thinks that is how things are until she escapes and meets a really nice man becomes independent, realizes that she doesn't need a man to support her and finds out you don't HAVE to live like that.
There, I fixed it.....LOL

"For example, after a $194 million deepening project for the Port of Iberia flunked a Corps cost-benefit analysis, Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) tucked language into an emergency Iraq spending bill ordering the agency to redo its calculations."
Getting porked in Louisiana.

"Let's have that investigation of where did the money go." It's a very good idea. We know funds were not spent on the construction of a viable flood prevention system.
Maybe Katrina will warn people not to reside under sea level unless there are in one of these.
