Nagin/Blanco who?

[Liberty Valance]

lots of politics in this story. they forgot to mention that a cat. 4 hurricane hit just east of New Orleans. I guess it's Bush's fault.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Bush should show some outrage.

Nagin and Blanco are failed leaders. Bush needs to step in front of the cameras and show some of the feelings Americans have about this diaster.

He can explain, he can praise, he can fire, he can show he's pissed off.

I think Americans need to know he's pissed off.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

No one (except political opportunists) is saying it's Bush's fault.

It's not his fault.

retired Air Force Capt. William Bissell told a reporter in Biloxi on Monday.
Hey Bill, why you only made Capt???? duh!

[Uncle Joe Cannon]

I am tired of the "feel your pain" theatrics.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Bush can tell the country they acted like he would have hoped during the natural emergency but there are a lot of wheels on the local, state and federal levels that need to be greased before we're prepared for a terrorist attack - the event we've all been told is on the horizon.


He needs to tell it like it is. It's obvious to the people. It needs to be echoed by the president.

Thanks for the LINKS backhoe!

Thanks for the LINKS backhoe-

You bet- I'm trying to find something else Jay did for another post-- he's very astute with the satirical graphics.

Until the federal government is ready to do that, and do it fast, the homeland cannot be considered secure.

Deliberate ignorance/aka lying out your ass. After I heard that Sandy Bergler got probation and a small fine, I hold no hope that those whose "priorities" harmed and killed people, will ever get their just desserts.

They should make up their minds. First they prevent the Feds from helping(among others), now they blame the Feds. Welcome to the Rabbit Hole :/

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Well, the rabbit hole is filled up (from the people who wouldn't leave to the corruption and incompetence in LA to the too big bureaucracy (that we pay for) that needs to mobilize) with excuses and it's time for some frank discussion.

[Recon Dad]

This is a real hit piece that uses a big brush to make a big argument. Note the lack of a time line. Start from the premise that the Feds blew it and throw out a Walmart truck or two and you have fixed the blame. Ask questions and this whole thing folds up like a cheap suitcase.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Pictures speak volumes.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I don't think it is a hit piece.

I've read a lot of hit pieces that I wouldn't post except to ridicule but I would not call this a hit piece.

We need to ask our government to function.

It functioned in Texas, so we know states can react to an emergency but the coordination between different levels of government needs to be set on a clearer course.

I guess the author did not read that the combined deaths have not even reached 500.

GWBush does not play the "claim the issue" game.

GWBush is a solution oriented leadership style.

This is just a sucker solicitation to join the gutter poltics of democrat slimes.

[AmericanChef]

Not once did they mention local authorities. Would they prefer, then, that the feds ignore local authorities like they do? Oh, they'd be getting the vapors over that, too!

[RedEyeJack]

Pretty much a rehash of the DNC talking points...

There is something here that need to be highlighted. What was the City and State plan for post disaster law enforcement and riot/looter control. If there was no plan why not? If there was a plan why wasn't it executed?
