Live conference...
Wow...kind of puts everything that happened in a different light. Maybe Nagin and Blanco aren't as dumb as they look and act...as Katrina approached they hatched a media savvy plan...blame George W. Bush and his FEMA. Yeah, thats the ticket...the media will run around in circles pointing finger at W and no one will 'notice' why things really went to hell.
ANyone know how Tony Snow broke this story? Did someone in the FBI tell him or how did he discover it.
Oh, yes. And other inner cities are watching...big cleanups all over the country IMO.
Definitely a 3rd World country down there. Time for serious clean up.
I wonder how much overtime these guys were pulling in????
Not sure if it is true but one poster said that the guy who was somehow in charge of all these names committed suicide.
Lol, of course not Shep since he can't seem to find his way off his bridge.
Tony only mentioned "sources".
Funniest. Keyword. Ever.
I thought Reno was a Wookie?
I'm afraid we're going to discover that a lot of those missing police officers are similar to democrat voters. They never really existed.
But their paychecks did. And they went someplace. Wonder if things in NO could really have been that corrupt???
Exactly...some have seen this from Day One. The screams of early blame were only to deflect from what they knew was coming down the pike. Ugly, terrible corruption in NO that has been going on for years.
Oh sheesh, listen to that guy speak ! It's amazing that some people can somehow rise to the heights of power and success, and STILL talk like a hood-rat.
It is Hugh and Series, too!
Sorry couldn't resist, LOL!
I saw it. I agree. However it wasn't mine.
Well, it could have something to do with all those missing officers who weren't really actual persons.
I had to laughed when the mayor said he hoped he would make better money after his retirement in some other line of work. Heck, if he can find more corruption and graft, he probably will.
FOLLOW THE MONEY!!!
Oh, I SO want an investigation into LA politics from dog catcher on up to the US Senators and Governor!!!
Delicious!!
But, a darn shame for the good people of LA.
Corruption in a 40 year Dem stronghold? I'm shocked I tell ya. Just shocked.
Same ones who where pocketing all those tax dollars to maintain the levees, mobilize an evacuation plan, and stock the dome with supplies.
I said earlier today that maybe the ineptness was not really ineptness. It is starting to look like it was to try to protect a massive amount of corruption. They probably hoped Katrina wouldn't hit.
And how could anyone not think that Jefferson was pulling something most foul when he wouldn't leave the items he took from his house as the rescue team is trying to airlift him.
Destroying evidence or massive amounts of money in that box or both.
