(Washington) -- U.S. Senator Rick Santorum is suggesting that early mistakes in predicting the path of Hurricane Katrina may be a symptom of lost focus at the National Weather Service. Santorum, who introduced legislation earlier this year to curb the output of government weather forecasters, says tracking life-threatening weather must be central to what the agency is doing. 00149_ric09d.mp3 Asked about Katrina by WITF, Santorum described weather service warnings for Florida, where the storm first made landfall, as “not sufficient." Santorum’s bill instructs the government to abandon weather prediction and data reporting efforts that duplicate private-sector activity. He came under fire when it was revealed that the head of State College-based AccuWeather, which would benefit, has given his campaigns thousands of dollars.
"Finally - somebody pointing fingers at weathermen. These a--holes are wrong all of the time. Throw them in jail!"
But Roves pulling their strings, so IT'S REALLY ALL BUSH'S FAULT
Not zot material. Santorum needs a proper whooping on this stupid statement.
He is a troll but i live in south florida and that was one of the dumbest ideas and statements i heard so far regardless i still want him to retain his seat but back away from his stupid weather reporting legislation
Yes, I just signed up. I have no idea what a troll is. No, I did not vote for Kerry. I voted for Bush and still strongly support him. I am for the war on terror and glad we are in Iraq. If you blindly follow republicans or democracts, you are stupid. So stick troll up your a## jerkoffs......
Someone needs to fax this idiot Santorum this chart.
I think it might move in a little quicker than that ....
Actually, aren't weathermen (oops....weatherpeople) supposed to have an evacuation plan for each city in the US and aren't they supposed to go pluck people off roofs and stuff?

Troll for sure!! That kind of language is considered very DUbious around here.

Nahhh, it's the President's job to micro-manage all that stuff, haven't you heard?
On the Katrina threads, it was OBVIOUS that New Orleans was going to be hit by the storm. The NHC nailed it and Santorum is a total idiot on this issue.
I hate to be stupid, but, what is the moose biting a sister joke? I keep hearing it and I don't get it! :(

What do you know! This one is feisty. rodmunch, it is considered a courtesy to browse around and lurk a little prior to posting a vanity. You will get some flak being new. If you are for real, you will hang around. If not, well, sucks to be you.
Keep in clean, and talk to us.
As for those calling the kitties, read the damn post.
Yes but the poster who signed up today and wanted a Dem in his place does deserve one.
I always thought that, in my next life, I would want to be a TV weatherman. These guys don't need to be right, and, they get paid a pretty decent salary.
Barring that, I would learn the piano...
Oops...silly me! It's gotten a little confusing, trying to keep track!

I'm supposed to support giving away a Senate seat to the Democrats because Santorum proposed one stupid piece of minor legislation?
Forget this rodmuncher.
Is he pimping for Accu weather based in PA?????
