If you live on the Gulf Coast, it is something you should do every June 1st, at least.

[Miss Marple]

I am now listening to the replay (I had to simply follow the thread today). Gene Taylor is an even bigger jerk than I imagined from reading the thread.

And I think he colors his hair.

[Mo1]

I'm watching Special Report's 2nd airing and didn't catch this the first time

Mike Brown will be working for FEMA as a consultant for ONLY 2 weeks

[BurbankKarl]

I am sure every federal government employee gets that.

[Miss Marple]

I am so outraged at Gene Taylor I think I won't be able to take it when Chris Shays comes on.

Maybe I should go watch HGTV.

[Carolinamom]

I think you'd better add Gene Taylor and Chris Shayes to your list, Miss Marple. They're both on mine now.

[Mo1]

Maybe I should go watch HGTV.

I would strongly suggest it ... those 2 were beyond unbelievable

They were way out of line with their attacks

Anyone taking any bets they will treat Gov. Blanco like that at tomorrow's hearing???

Yea ... I didn't think so

[Miss Marple]

Oh, here is the Rudy Guiliani question. That's it. I am going to call Shayes' office again tomorrow and insult him some more.

I think I will go watch HGTV or something mindless and try to calm down.

See you all tomorrow!

Gene Taylor reminds me of the sockless goober fiance of the runaway bride. Partridge Family haircut, and about as smart as a load of gravel.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

They have been dysfunctional for years and years there....

BEST OF NEW ORLEANS

From 2003: Meanwhile, Mayor Ray Nagin needs to patch things up with Blanco after endorsing her opponent in the runoff. She has a thorough grasp of tourism's economic importance, so that would be a good place to start thawing their icy relations. Hizzoner ought to invite her to get on board his cruise-ship terminal expansion plan, not to mention his goal of expanding the airport. He might even consider following Hainkel's lead and letting her call both ideas her own

[BigSkyFreeper]

Good gosh, Christopher Shays is amazingly dense.

Cut him some slack, he's a Democrat. Anyone who goes around defending the incompetent mayor of NOLA and governor of LA are dense.

[onyx]

I didn't see it or read the thread either.

[onyx]

LOL! Stuck in stupid...lol.

[BigSkyFreeper]

LOL!

"Don't Get Stuck On Stupid!"

- Lieutenant General Russell "Ragin' Cajun" Honore

[onyx]

Honore is great!

[BigSkyFreeper]

Gene "Opie" Taylor

[BigSkyFreeper]

That was the best press conference I have ever witnessed.

"That's a Katrina question....YOU'RE STUCK ON STUPID!"

[Dolphy]

I have no many pepople I am disgusted with that I don't know where to start with e-mails and phone calls! We'd better get organized and get busy; I am damn sure that we can't count on at least half of the "conservative" press and the elected Republicans. They are cowards!!!

If you are getting organized or would like to get organized, I'm interested. When Chris Matthews told King last night that the American people believed them on this story we were given a glimpse of what's at the bottom of this. Try as they might, they haven't been able to demolish Bush. Now they think they have our attention as the truth tellers.

[RobbyS]

That does not mean that Taylorknows what it was like to stand in Brown's shoes. Brown was forced into a command position where he lacked the authority/capacity to act.

[Arizona Carolyn]

He's really something. Quite full of himself. Pickering is a good guy, however.
