There was a thread on 9/28 citing an audio clip by Tony Snow outlining the story.

Am I the only one who has had a passing thought that maybe there was a reason a hurricane went through the debauched city of New Orleans?

The audio clip from the Tony Snow show seems to be gone, but the original poster was a reliable Freeper: CincinnatusWife [sp]. There was also a headline news link, but that disappeared before 24 hours was up. It's as if Fox wanted to step away from the story.

The content may be duplicate since this seems to be a copy of the original Fox post. However, it is interesting that the Fox post is now gone and some other news agency is now posting it.
This is only the third mention of this story from a news agency. The first two were Fox and this one quotes Fox. Where is everybody else and why did Fox pull the link?

I smell a whitewash being done on this story.
Nagin is now saying they knew all along that the phantom cops didn't exist. That they just pretended that they had that many cops in order to scare the citizens and to be eligible for the federal money. And they used the fed money for some other projects. Gimme an F'n break!
We need to keep the heat up on this story or else they're gonna get away with this.

I would bet the rent that ghost employees are as common as ghost voters in Democrat controlled big cities.

An 18 year old and a just-turned 15 year old here. Two missions--keep them out of jail & make them good little conservatives. The 18 year old crawled out of bed (on his own!) at 4 am to go duck hunting yesterday morning. The 15 YO is, shall we say, 'a work in progress'? I gotz my work cut out for me. Making him into a good little conservative, that is.

"Several middle ranking police officers committed suicide after the Katrina debacle, Nagin and Compass believe it was due to trauma and exhaustion from the storm but officials are looking into whether or not it might have been related to fear of being caught in a payroll scandal, AHN reports." Or murder.

"Am I the only one who has had a passing thought that maybe there was a reason a hurricane went through the debauched city of New Orleans?" Not at all, I've thought about a lot and it makes a lot of sense to me.

WAIT A MINUTE!! The article you are quoting was a FARCE!! Nagin probably made no such statement. Note that the thread was titled: "Semi-news". Also read the rest of the article from the original web site from Arizona. Do you really believe that Senator McCain advised Cindy to register as a lobbyist??! It was sarcasm.
To: Ken H
"I would bet the rent that ghost employees are as common as ghost voters in Democrat controlled big cities." That's an excellent point. Now I'm wondering if these 500 phantom cops voted for Clinton, Gore and Kerry. What a story that would be, eh?

Uhhh. . . When I read the link on that other thread, it turned out to be a very subtle satire piece disguised as news- and a lot of the FReepers on the thread didn't get it.

That original link on Headline News has been dead for quite a while. I just searched the Headline News site and I could not find the story.
I think we need to consider that the original source may have been a hoax which Fox News bit on and then withdrew hoping that nobody would notice.

NOLA politicians, or Pravda 'journalists'? :-)
