Which Friday and which evacuation?
(There was an evacuation before the hurricane hit. There is another evacuation going on now.)
I'm not sure any more.
There are timelines around- one in Bradenton?
We need to find them and document this stuff because between the floodwaters and the BS, there's gonna be a lot of something that will grow up in the near future.
I suspect that this is advance positioning of the defense's expert witness to enhance his credibility for her upcoming impeachment trial.
"The next day Blanco shored up her authority over the situation by setting up a state relief fund and calling in former Clinton administration FEMA director James Lee Witt".
Exactly. My question is: How long did it take the Clintons to approve a solution to Blank-oh's problem after it seemed obvious the Feds stood at the ready?
Before midnight on Friday night.
Before the evacuation orders were even given.
Despite the absurdity of this apparently contradictory statement, it reveals that the locals refused to take the most prudent course of action for fear of hurting their political careers. It is an indictment.
As I recall, Blankstare hired Witt to coordinate AT THE STATE LEVEL, (it is is a state paid position,) the relief efforts. I don't know who was in charge of coordinating those before, other than the gubbiner herself.
I think Witt contract is no pay for a couple of months, then he get big bux.
That is how I think it would shape up if you looked closely at Blankstare's stalling during the week of 8/28-9/3. Either that or spectacular incompetence.
I'd want to know what communications she had with 'rat central.
I hope that it was recorded somewhere, even if illegally. Let it loose on the 'net from a foreign web site and let the chips fall where they may.
Given Reid's latest legislation proposal that I just saw on Fox, I'm guessing that the whole "Bush failed" scenario was orchestrated by the DNC, at the cost of hundreds if not thousands of lives (of course, those "lives" will still vote democrat in New Orleans). They're desparate and will do anything to win.
Click the linky part up there.
That LOHSEP website has all sorts of useful stuff...
if Blank-o hired Witt on 9/3, who was filling that position before 9/3 during the storm and the first few days of the aftermath? Was the position vacant or was there an unnamed flunky being protected?

.....because this is today's Democratic party
I think roseoftexas nailed it on another thread.

At the suggestion of writer Michelle Malkin last Friday, I have cobbled together a blogsite called Texas Clearinghouse for Katrina Aid to serve as a clearinghouse for refugee efforts in Texas.
Texas is getting more refugees than any other state -- that's fine, we'll take them all -- but we need help providing them with food, clothing, medicine, and shelter. We need help taking care of their pets, too.
If you are a refugee, you can information that will help you find relief. If you want to donate or volunteer, you can find someone who needs you. Believe me, there are a lot of organizations who need your help.
Right now the site mostly covers Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas but I'm adding more every night. My wife was down at Reunion Arena in Dallas Tuesday handing out care packages and spiritually ministering to the refugees as a representative of her employer. She says that the situation is tragic and that there's a lot of work to be done. There are so many children who don't know where their parents are or even if their parents are still alive.
There are a lot of churches and other organizations in Texas that need help in dealing with the problem and I would appreciate it if you would get the word out.
Many thanks,
