Those LA Dems are really concerned about savings lives. Or maybe just their favorite blanky.

Rep. William Jefferson, D-La Who should be tried, convicted and jailed for this outrage.
Count on the media squashing this story. ...but if it'd been a Republican, it'd be on the front page above the fold.

It gets better...also from the article:
"The Louisiana National Guard tells ABC News the truck became stuck as it waited for Jefferson to retrieve his belongings.
The soldiers signaled to helicopters in the air for aid. Military sources say a Coast Guard helicopter pilot saw the signal and flew to Jefferson's home. The chopper was already carrying four rescued New Orleans residents at the time.
A rescue diver descended from the helicopter, but the congressman decided against going up in the helicopter, sources say. The pilot sent the diver down again, but Jefferson again declined to go up the helicopter.
After spending approximately 45 minutes with Jefferson, the helicopter went on to rescue three additional New Orleans residents before it ran low on fuel and was forced to end its mission.
"Forty-five minutes can be an eternity to somebody that is drowning, to somebody that is sitting in a roof, and it needs to be used its primary purpose during an emergency," said Hauer."

He will overwhelmingly win his ninth term via absentee ballot, and the votes of the dead in what is left of his district.
And no one will dare comment.
I am surprised ABC would even put this story out.

Wasn't he the one that had FBI people searching and confiscating items in his home? That was announced but never heard any more after that

Yes...on the web. Do you think it'll get any ink in the NY Times or the LA Times? How about major play on 60 minutes? Nightline?
Well?

" I am surprised ABC would even put this story out."
I am hoping that the MSM is realizing that they overreacted the first week when blaming everything on Bush. Now as some of the facts come out and now that they media realizes that Nagin, Blanco, Landrieu are complete morons, the media figures it may want to do some backtracking. At least a little.
