LA Sen. Landrieu: Sunken buses are because administration doesn't believe in mass transit [huh?]

"Wow. Landrieu is either the stupidest person to ever hold a Federal office, or she's so desperate to spin this into an anti-Bush jihad that she started to sputter incoherently."

I'll take C, Both of the above.

[pepperhead]

Oh my someone finally called a Louisiana official on the busses. To bad it was only FOX.

[HitmanLV]

Senator Landrieu and Governor Blanco certainly didn't do women in positions of power proud. While it doesn't say anything about women in positions of power on balance, it speaks volumes for them personally.

[used2BDem]

She deserves an Academy Award for "the sounding like the stupidest person on earth" category. Or is she REALLY that stupid?

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

Or better yet, she admitted they cannot get people to work in NO even on a sunny day. Hmmnnn, was this a trial run for why so many people in NO not working and on welfare? It is Bush's fault for not providing mass transit to convey them to and fro.

This scumbag is the dark underbelly of dem liberals in power and controlling tax dollar purse strings

[SuziQ]

Wow. Landrieu is either the stupidest person to ever hold a Federal office, or she's so desperate to spin this into an anti-Bush jihad that she started to sputter incoherently.

You're right on BOTH counts.

"Question is will the people of New Orleans "wake-up and smell the coffee?""

Answer: NO

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

If we cannot come together even while fellow Americans are dying before our very eyes, on our own soil . We can forget ever reaching agreement for consensus on other vital matters. The dismal lack of a unified response to Katrina has proven the divide between us too wide and deep.

Though consumed with their hatred, I would never have thought to further a political driven agenda, the left and media would have sacrificed human lives. I was wrong, there is no other conclusion for me to draw from their horrific actions during a time of monumental crisis. This is no longer just political warfare, as a direct result of the left's partisanship, people have suffered and died. I now find this to be a very real and actual war, when besieged, it would behoove one come to grip with reality and act accordingly.

I read her pappy was a long time mayor of NO, the corruption of her family is endemic in LA.

Dear Numbers Guy,

I was acquainted from college with her brother, the current Lt. Gov.

The stupidity is genetic.

Sounds as though cities need new mayors or new workers or both.

[rock58seg]

Wait, wait, wait.....She said there were 2 disasters, the hurricane and the levee break. Has not Bush been mocked as clueless for saying the same thing? Why does she get to say it?

Well they are all wrong... There were three disasters..The first was electing Democrats to local and state government for last 1 1/2 Centuries.

I wish I'd seen that interview!

[Milligan]

Where is the Lt Gov?

The Power of Stupidity

[Christian4Bush]

What a load of horse hockey. And by that, I don't mean polo.

Bravo Sierra?

[kingu]

It's because this administration and administrations before them...

So, as a US Senator, it is all her fault, since she is part of the body that makes the budget and signs the checks.

Why did the crickets suddenly get so much louder?

[Christian4Bush]

And the mayor and the governor didn't order the use of the buses why?

It wasn't Election Day?

It's bumper sticker time. T-shirt time. Poster time. ANYTHING to...pardon the pun...DRIVE this point home. In fact, do not pardon the pun. I meant to say it, the way I said it. If anyone is offended, you're offended by the truth. /end rant to lurking trolls

Mayor Nagin and most mayors in this country have a hard time getting their people to work on a sunny day"
Otherwise known as the "lazy, fat-@ssed government worker" defense. Not going to be very helpful for the Dims long term, I'll wager.
The statement also has more than just a whiff of racism, given that this is New Orleans, nearly 70% black, that Landrieu is speaking of...

As a MSM headline it should read;
LANDREIU... N.O. CITY WORKERS UNRELIABLE INCOMPETENT

[sgtyork]

Mayor Nagin and most mayors in this country have a hard time getting their people to work on a sunny day, less [sic] alone getting them out of the city in front of a hurricane. "

Good grief! She's casting aspersions on the work ethic of those poor people (LOL) I know they don't work in Chicago...
