She just doesn't know when to quit, does she?

[johnb838]

Is it chutzpah if the person doesn't have any idea what she's saying? Like a parrot mimicing speech or a tourettes patient spouting out words?

[NewJerseyJoe]

If it's taking too long.... then exactly what in the hell is she doing to improve the situation?!? She's the governor(ess), for crying out loud. Dammit! I am sick of this utter vacuum of responsibility in New Orleans. I have not seen one iota of leadership coming out of 'Greyhound' Ray Nagin or Blanco duBois ("I've always relied on the kindness of strangers").

[Dat Mon]

YOU SAID..."Idioto"

I'm sure she is...but now the political sharpies in the DNC are directing her efforts....and they are NOT idiots by any means.

They are telling her that the best defense is a good offense.

If nobody on the pub side counters this horse$hit, then guess what....some of it sticks.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I wonder what she thinks the responsibilities of a state governor encompass?

Besides accepting bribes.

[Moby Grape]

What she is REALLY saying is:

"We want the body count to go up FASTER so we can use it politically."

She is ACTAUALLY upset that the body count is not higher...remember this idiots were screaming about 10,000 deaths...they are going to look even MORE the fools that they are.

I'm glad Gov Pataki didnt say that 4 years ago. Why is this lib hag in office???? Take Nagin with ya.

[MadelineZapeezda]

I agree that it's taking too long. A small crew could have been collecting bodies to place in a ref.truck while the majority did rescue and recovery. Then no one would have complained. FEMA or whomever could have stated:the process has begun. Blanco's a stupid be-otch but I agree with her on this one.

---WAGGED HER TONGUE.---

cried on camera, perfectly on-cue.

[Sam Cree]

So recovery of the bodies is an enumerated power of the federal government?

[numberonepal]

She just doesn't know when to quit, does she?

Nope, and I think it's a good thing. Everyone will know that she's a talker and NOT a doer.

[Muzzle_em]

She's a bit-h plus idiot.
Bitiotch!
Who is SHE to be talking about something taking too long?!
I'm sick to death of her gum flapping!

Completely incompetent and ineffectual at your job for over a week, leaving thousands to die.. and then try to blame others for incompetence? This woman has to go.. the idea that women are just as effective executives just got shot to hell with this woman....

[Cougar66]

Please tell me that after that pic was taken President Bush put her in a headlock and the First Lady pummeled her, please?

[Caipirabob]

The length of time in recovery is being hindered because Alleged "Governor" Blanco has refused to grant the military assisting in rescue and recovery the ability to enter devastated homes to recover bodies. They can only visually inspect the premise and move on.

[johnb838]

The responsibilities were to be left to others.

But they weren't. She doesn't actually have to know how to handle the emergency, she just has to have somebody that does. But she doesn't. She probably did, but they told her things she didn't want to hear. So they were fired. By the Governor. That would be Her. She can do that.

ref.truck= refridgerated truck

Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco lashed out at FEMA for their 'lack of urgency and lack of respect' in the recovery of corpses from Hurricane Katrina during a press briefing in Baton Rouge, La., Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2005. Also attending the briefing were statewide elected officials. (AP Photo/Rogelio Solis)
