Blanco: Body Recovery Taking Too Long
breitbart.com ^ | Sep 13, 2005 | Associated Press

Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco lashed out at FEMA on Tuesday, complaining the agency is moving too slowly in recovering the bodies of those killed by Hurricane Katrina.

The dead "deserve more respect than they have received," she said at state police headquarters in Baton Rouge.

She said that the Federal Emergency Management Agency still has not signed a contract with the company hired to handle the removal of the bodies, Houston-based Kenyon International Emergency Services.

Calls to a FEMA spokesman in New Orleans and the Homeland Security Department in Washington were not immediately returned.

If you had done a better job planning for this day, you hag, a lot of those dead people would still be alive.

There wouldn't be so many bodies to remove if you had done your job in the first place!

Maybe Mayor Nagin could take some time out from setting up his new house in Dallas to help out? Just a thought.....

This woman is the ultimate "straight man" for any aspiring comedian.

They sure do deserve more respect...like able local leaders instead of whining, teary-eyed weaklings who deny all responsibility for anything.

Better yet, hand her a pair of rubber gloves, and a surgical mask. Then tell her "If you think it's not being done fast enough, then by God, pitch in!!"

Whether she knows it or not, she made a profound statement about HERSELF by saying this.

Blanco: Body Recovery Taking Too Long

In light of the events in the past two weeks, I honestly believe the governor and mayor ought to be forced to help in the body recovery.

Words fail me.

She wants them to get themselves killed by hurrying up - obviously the safety practices they're observing would have to be jettisoned.

The beotch needs to STFU unless she's willing to get her posterior alongside the folks doing the recovery and help them out.

The twit won't shut up... she is only hurting herself, and not helping a soul. Dead or alive. She's a marvel of callousness and guile.
