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.

I have read several of these threads on the number of buses parked in those flooded New Orleans parking lots.

I wish we had aerial photos of the school bus parking lot in Baton Rouge on the Sunday before the storm.

If Governor Blanco was up to the task, she would have ordered her National Guard to take all of the buses in Baton Rouge to New Orleans to evacuate the people.

I would expect there are another 1,000 buses in the near vicinity of New Orleans that could have been commandeered by the Governor if she had ordered the mandatory evacuation.

The fact the governor had to be asked to order a mandatory evacuation further points to her gross incompetency.

Your word's good enough for me bert, because you don't lie.

That said it wouldn't have mattered if there were 100,000 buses -- equipped with saunas -- within 10 miles of NO ground zero.
Not if they weren't used in accordance with their own Evac plan(s)?
That they weren't [used] even the twisted logic of the Liberal-Socialists can contest.
It's fact.

Next logical question, then?

*Why* weren't the buses used?
And even a cursory examination of the facts we know *now* points and/or leads to this incompetent mayor, THEN, the governor.
That's the official "chain-of-command", isn't it?

Seems the Associated Quislings are at work -- in earnest -- providing cover for this mayor -- who the AQ *know* is where "the buck *will* stop" first? -- excuse(s), galore.
They'll take care of the governor's alibi, *next*.

I believe that's what this story's really trying to illustrate, alert people to.

"The governor will not answer directly though, she will request 24 hours to review the photo in private."

The village idiot will hang a pic of those buses on the wall of her office, *IF*, the AQ can separate her onus from the buses (sitting, flooded) *first* before any serious inquiries begin.
And *that's* the time the AQ has to work their shtick: between now *&* then.

The AqP's modus operandi is all I'm calling attention to.
We've [read: you *&* I] have seen their mo a thousand times before.

The Associated Quislings & the *process* that'll attempt to absolve *both* these Liberal-Socialist creeps of any *&* all responsibility -- whatsoever -- is on display for all to witness.

...again.
