Placing the blame is becoming an art form--a lot of the liberals, but also for some conservatives too.
Wonder if life insurance came into play. Hate to even think that, but with the lies flying it makes me suspicious.
It's starting to look like there were a lot of people who were dishonest.
The Democrats are evil and desperate and they know there are enough uneducated people watching T.V. that they can say and do anything. They also know the MSM will not challenge them on their lies. America is in dire straights between an activist judicial system,and evil Democrat Party,a corrupt MSM and a Republican Party that fails to challenge their lies.
Good moral people had better arm themselves to the hilt and prepare to fight we in the US are in the process of having our country overthrown from within!
I saw a story on ABC news a couple of days ago about this. The county coroner told the reporter how he showed up with two buses to evacuate the nursing home on Saturday (27) or sunday (28) to evacuate all of the people there. The manager said that she had permission from the families of the patients to keep them there because they could ride out the storm just like previous ones. The coroner told the manager that he could take the people then, but not guarantee being able tocome back. The coroner said that the manager called him monday morning saying the place was flooding, but by then the hurricane was in full force and he was unable to return from whereever he had evacuated to. The manager was one of those who drowned.
The MSM is doing whatever it can to deflect attention from the criminal actions of Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco. The pride of these two in not accepting federal aid or advice when offered the Friday before the hurricane ultimately killed many people.
DEMOCRATS' PRIDE, PEOPLE DIED!
It appears that the "Calvary" was there and on the job, Broussard.
They did explain why it happened, it was Bush's fault. That is the standard line and they are running with it along with their press whores.
He had the same fake expressions and tears as Cindy Sheehan. A good number of the Dems' friends are sociopaths who pretend emotion, in order to get what they want.
Speaking of fakes...
Terry Ebbert, head of the New Orleans Department of Homeland Security angrily asked why we could help tsunami victims but we couldn't help the flooded folks of New Orleans.
Ebbert neglected to mention that two or three days before his "angry" outburst, he was assuring the world that the levee breach could be fixed in a few hours and the waters were only rising slowly.
Is T. Ebbert [NOLA DHS chief] responsible for delay in large-scale response to levee breach?
Well, it worked didn't it.
I fail to understand why those on the right continue to pretend we are winning.
Even Rush is delusional, (or maybe he is just trying to buck us up).
I have said for years that we need to go on the offense with the MSM, reporter by reporter, and ruin them.
How long will we continue to cower?
From the first source I found:
"And he said, 'Yeah, mama, somebody's coming to get you. Somebody's coming to get you on Tuesday. Somebody's coming to get you on Wednesday. Somebody's coming to get you on Thursday. Somebody's coming to get you on Friday.' And she drowned Friday night."
He's been busted by the Feds and will probably end up in jail.
< ... Snip > Mr. Broussard recalled he told her “somebody’s coming to get you on Tuesday. Somebody’s coming to get you on Wednesday. Somebody’s coming to get you on Friday. And she drowned Friday night,” sobbed the parish president, breaking down. “She drowned on Friday night.”
Choking back tears, he pressed on, ignoring the interjections of moderator Tim Russert. “Nobody’s coming to get her, nobody’s coming to get her: The secretary’s promise, everybody’s promise. They’ve had press conferences — I’m sick of the press conferences. For God’s sakes, shut up and send somebody.” His raw frustration with the plodding, inept response of the federal government to the cataclysmic nightmare on the Gulf Coast was palpable.
President Bush, who waited two days after Katrina landed and a day after levee breaks drowned New Orleans to leave his Texas ranch and follow the federal response from Washington, proclaimed that “in America, we do not abandon our fellow citizens in their hour of need.” But those who were abandoned believe otherwise.
Families of the very young and very old who succumbed to the abandonment know better. A quarter of New Orleans’ 480,000 residents who live below the poverty line and had to fend for themselves when all hell broke loose know better.
Four years ago the government got a wake-up call about how unprepared it was to handle the worst. A huge bureaucracy called the Department of Homeland Security was formed and tens of billions of taxpayer dollars were spent to beef up the nation’s disaster response system. Never again would the federal government bungle its way through the worst wrought by man or nature.
Then Katrina hit and destroyed that myth. Unlike 9/11, the government knew a powerful hurricane had its eye on New Orleans in time to prepare for a worst-case scenario. For years it knew how vulnerable the city’s levee system was to unpredictable hurricane forces.
Yet when Katrina’s floodwaters breached New Orleans levees and drowned the city, federal disaster officials were watching from afar like the rest of us. Only after Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff noted that it looked “as if an atomic bomb had been dropped” on the Big Easy did a sweeping relief effort swing into action. But everything was a day (or days) late and a dollar (or dollars) short.
Bureaucratic red tape tangled rescue and relief operations from Alabama to Mississippi and down to Louisiana. By the time logistics could be figured out and emergency operations enacted, people were dead or dying who might have survived if the threat of impending disaster had been taken seriously.
The anarchy and chaos that rocked places where people had nothing to lose after days of no food, water, shelter, or communication might have been mitigated if the government hadn’t waited until after the levees broke to organize resources, search and rescue missions, and massive evacuations.
Instead, the world watched in stunned disbelief as the last remaining superpower appeared powerless to help untold thousands, now called refugees, who were stuck in hot, stinking, dark arenas with nowhere to go and no way to get there.
Out of the prolonged suffering of those waiting desperately to be saved from the worst came a harsh realization. After all the talk about improving national security through heightened awareness and coordination of responsible agencies, the government can’t bail anyone out.
It has no more — and maybe less — capability to protect the public than it did on Sept. 11, 2001. Four years after violent disaster hobbled the homeland with numbing ferocity, the United States appears as impotent as it was then to effectively safeguard its citizens from utter devastation.
It’s a sobering discovery to make when it matters that expected help is not on the way. To paraphrase the emotional parish president, no Desperately seeking survivors

Good point. Where's the media investigating Broussard's story?
If they died before the end of August, the checks that came in September would have to be returned. If they died in September, Broussard could keep the checks.
Anything is possible, huh???
I want a new law. All media outlets due to the freedom of the press are allowed to interview anyone and publish what is said, however such outlets are required to also investigate and if the content contained lies correct them or the readers/viewers have the right to sue them for all they have!
