Where'd all the loot get Bogarted to?
Douglas Brinkley was on t.v. last nite. I forget what channel and he was slamming LA officials so bad I couldn't believe it. He talked about the corrupt politics in LA and the corrupt levee boards. I didn't see him attack the Federal Govt. at all. I was totally shocked.
Landrieu is in a panic, and rightly so, guilt does that. She hopes that by barking loudly and pointing her finger in a pathetic, photo-op display of righteous indignation at President Bush that the real blame for this unholy mess won't settle where it belongs... i.e., on the shoulders of her, her family, their fellow elected democrats and all their patronage appointees. For as long as anyone can remember, Louisiana has functioned by graft and corruption. For years democrats have relied on the poorest of the poor of New Orleans to keep them in office. It served their purpose to keep them poor and dependant and so they lied to them and coerced them into believing they were their friends. Now their gross deceptions have cost the same poor folks everything. It isn't any wonder that Landrieu and her cronys are bawlin' and squallin' and trying to blame someone, anyone for the horrible fate that has befallen the people of New Orleans and the surrounding parishes.
