"However, Nagin's most newsworthy comments - where he explained why he didn't used hundreds of city school buses to evacuate his city's flood victims - went almost unnoticed."

Recall how the *network* a.ka The Associated [quislings] Press worked when it was so eloquently exposed/demonstrated with the gang-bang of the Lib-Socialist idiot photog in NYCity?

Well?

"Turns out, Nagin turned his nose up at the yellow buses, demanding more comfortable Greyhound coaches instead."

> ! <

"'I need 500 buses, man,' he told WWL. 'One of the briefings we had they were talking about getting, you know, public school bus drivers to come down here and bus people out of here.'"

How'd the AP *miss* this crucial *clue* while they covered "The Big Picture"?
Amazing. {scratching head}

"Nagin described his response: 'I'm like - you've got to be kidding me. This is a natural disaster. Get every doggone Greyhound bus line in the country and get their asses moving to New Orleans.' While Nagin was waiting for his Greyhound fleet, Katrina's floodwaters swamped his school buses, rendering them unusable."

Well voila'!!
-Behold-
A Memory Hole in the making.

In the meantime Moveon.org accompanied by NO "refugees" will protest at the WH while enjoying excruciatingly full coverage from?

Yup, none other than.

...the The Associated Quislings. :o)

Just for the record, being a thorough individual, I counted the buses in the pictures. There were more than 450. There were 262 school buses. Although there is disagreement on capacity ranging from 40 to 75, using 50 as an average, 50 x 450 = 22,500 per trip. Enough to do the evac from the dome.

There is also a report that the mayor said his buses were not suitable because they had no bathrooms.

The bus story did make the main stream. Fox News put the bus photo up and it is now part of the public record. When the hearings begin I guess there will be a billboard size copy and wittnesses can be raked over the coals bus by bus. They can probably take 3 days taking testimony from those having authority over busses. The governor will not answer directly though, she will request 24 hours to review the photo in private.
