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.

==================================
Amid the chaos and confusion that engulfed New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina struck, a local congressman used National Guard troops to check on his property and rescue his personal belongings even while New Orleans residents were trying to get rescued from rooftops, ABC News has learned. On Friday, Sept. 2 five days after Katrina hit the Gulf Coast Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., who represents New Orleans and is a senior member of the powerful Ways and Means Committee, was allowed through the military blockades set up around the city to reach the Superdome, where thousands of evacuees had been taken.

HEY! Has anyone gotten to the end of the article where it says: "In an unrelated matter, authorities have recently searched Jefferson's property as part of a federal investigation into the finances of a high-tech firm. Last month FBI officials raided Jefferson's house as well as his home in Washington, D.C., his car and his accountant's house. ...
"... A senior federal law enforcement source tells ABC News that investigators are interested in learning if Jefferson moved any materials relevant to the investigation. Jefferson says he did not."
Yeah, just like he says he was only visiting his Parish to see if any of his constituents needed any help and he just HAPPENED to be in the neighborhood... (sarcasm intended!!!)
