Don't forget that the Government of Louisiana had been ordered by FEMA to repay thirty million dollars that was misappropriated from the last disaster.

Also that Blanco was doing some political payback on Nagin for supporting a Republican candidate in the last election.

GACK---There is a new thread that says that in an interview that will be on tomorrow night, on 20/20....

Colin Powell puts in his two-cents worth...and is blaming all of the government...and although he doesn't blame the slowness on racism, he says that the fact that these people were poor had something to do with why they didn't get out...

WELL, duh, and so----Mr. Powell, why didn't the MAYOR put them on buses and get them the hell outta there????

He is smart enough to know that from a legal as well as a public relations stand point, that Bush could NOT go in without being asked by the Gov....

I never have been a Powell fan, and once again he doesn't disappoint...blech!
