That said, the man was NOT effective and I think he was not up to the task before him. I actually think it is very possible that he did NOT know about this police stuff. But that is also a different issue.

TRUE.

He was not effective during the storm, it was not his first priority nor assignment. He believed the plans the governor told him were in place. Only too late did he find out they were not.

He did his best to give people somewhere to get shelter.

He also did his best to get the white folk out of the way when plans went sour.

There is much that is being left out by the media , the timeline, the takeover of the buses from the HOTEL for the SUPERDOME, etc.

I notice no one is questioning why this occurred.

Sure does put chubby Sen Mary Landrieu is a spot. She threatened to punch out anyone who spoke badly of the locals, including the President.

Keep in mind that Mary used to be LA Treasurer in the late 90's. If ANYBODY's going to jail over financial corruption in LA, the trail will lead directly to her.

"I think Tony got his information from some where.... it has legs, if it didn't, The police chief would not have resigned."

Compass's resignation does add SOME credibility to the rumor, but I still want another source before I'll believe it. To say the least, it's quite a coincidence that he resigns the same day that this rumor surfaces.

"Pretty easy to have those 100,000 police officers that Clinton called for when it looks like quite a few of them don't even exist."

Just one more example that Clinton's presidency was all smoke and mirrors. Like the "great economy" that turned out to be driven by the dot com illusion.

The old story "The Emperor Without Any Clothes" could have been written as perfect political satire describing the Clinton presidency and his continued popularity.

I can't imagine how the voters of Louisiana are just standing by while these criminals and incompetents go on fleecing the sate of Louisiana. That horrible, useless governor Blanco is directly responsible for the deaths of innocent civilians, as is Senator Mary Landrieu and Mayor Ray Nagin. These people should be in jail rotting away with the rest of the Democrat party scum!!!

I didn't know that Nagin had said those things about Pres. Bush on Oprah. Oh, I hope he goes down and fast. It could of been a whole different story if he and Blanco hadn't started the blame game even before Katrina had left the vicinty.

We had a list of all the officials and cops arrested for murder and other reasons... it was unbelievable.

I'm trying to find it, we need it now.

Russert was excusing Broussard of all people. We knew that from how he let him bloviate... but at least he asked the questions.

Thanks, but he did ask the questions.
Broussard, Nagin and Compass all went to the same school.

The part that doesn't sound right is that they had that few number of cops

This whole mess reminds me of scenes of the South after the Civil War in 'Gone with the Wind'. Looks like N.O. is just a bunch of home-grown carpet baggers and incompetents.

Rush actually retracted the story the day after because he couldn't confirm it and was by then getting contradictory information.
