Hello,
Thanks so much for the info, I am glad to say that I have not totally lost it (at least for today!). Now, did this occur, and if so did anyone here see it? Fox was really hyping this presser, even doing a "News Alert".
Glad to be here, MOgirl

Bush doesn't have to dirty his fingernails on this one. I'll take the b*tch out for him.

Actually, the Senator is both stupid and desperate.

Fox was really hyping this presser, even doing a "News Alert".Just for laughs, you could call the press release's number for the governor's spokesbeings and ask them what happened.

we had the best evacuation ...of any evacuation I've seen If true, how can Bush be to blame for anything?
What a moron.
This just needs repeating. About 12,000 times.
Dear Senator, if this is the best evac EVAH . . . then the problem is . . . what?

Ironic that it was the black voters of New Orleans that Jesse Jackson drummed up at the last minute that allowed Landrieu to squeak to victory in the last election (using those same buses to get them to the polls). Yep. As someone said, if Landrieu had been half as effective bussing people out of N.O. as she was at bussing people to the polls, we'd not be having this discussion.
Even more ironic, however, is that the very people who helped Landrieu squeak to victory are the people most likely to NOT return to NO.
Besides the fact that there's nothing to return to, they will have gotten a taste of life off the plantation. I'm sorry for the circumstances, but maybe some will actually turn this tragedy around for themselves.

Lousyanna is a universal joke in Texas.They been evacuating to here for decades. Most Texans older than 20 and with an IQ over 80 avoid the place.
Maybe in some circles but you are speaking of the LA government - right? Some might think you are speaking of the people and I just wanted to clarify.

Hello,
Just for laughs, I did call the governor's spokesbeing's number and spoke with Ashley. The last that Ashley heard was that the Governor was "running late". I asked if the presser was still going forward and she said she did not know.
A day late, a city short, that's Gov. Blanco's way, MOgirl

It's up to a federal official-I would bet Landrieu means the President himself,in person-to come to NO and make sure that the people get on the buses and are driven to safety BEFORE the buses go under water? Then they'd be crying about how paternalistic Bush was, he didn't think a big city mayor even knew enough to use buses to evacuate residents to higher ground, it was out of racism that he rushed in to do the mayor's job.

A loon, a complete loon.
If the people of the great state of Louisianna don't throw ever dem out of office, there is no hope for them. Of course, my people in the great state of NJ probably won't throw the dem bums out either, so there is definately no hope for us.

Mary Landrieu never answered a damn question. NOT ONE!

Would you happen to have a shot of the final split-screen with her and the Republican Senator? Chris said, "Thanks to you both for coming." She didn't say a word and looked cold as ice - and she was the one sitting in the studio next to Chris.

Right now she's being interviewed on Fox. It's pathetic. She's got her rehearsed speeches, and she just launches into them, paying little or no attention to the question
To: John Jorsett
They won't even get people to work on a sunny day... I smell another focus-group-tested line. Maybe the people don't go "to work on a sunny day" because they're too engrossed in discussing "kitchen table issues."

...Mayor Nagin and most mayors in this country have a hard time getting their people to work on a sunny day...That's a racist remark considering that most of the city is African American and therefore so would be most of the city workers.

this administration does not believe in mass transit. Gee, Mary, not even in an extreme emergency, not even to bus them to safety ahead of a deadly storm, thereby saving lives and preventing the suffering some still endure waiting for basic necessities? Good to know.
To: FreePaul
I just saw the replay here in Los Angeles. Wow, she looked angry, bitter, and defensive. Her mouth was even twitching. When Wallace pointed to hundreds of buses all flooded that could have saved a lot of people, she kept saying it was all Bush's fault and don't you dare blame state officials. HUH?! This woman is beyond hysterical, she's nuts!!!
To: Libloather
She hates Fox. All the RATS do. They only do interviews on Fox cause they have to. This woman looks like she's about to have a breakdown of some kind.
