Typical Dems - screw up everything and then point the finger at the Republicans for the mess you're in. At least they can be 100 percent certain that the press will carry the ball for them.
"national surrogates "
Guess that would be the MSM?
LOL
The State loses its main city. Riots and looting in the streets. People still in danger and the senior staff of the Governor are just working on ways to blame Bush.
Undoubtedly it will be on page one, above the fold, in tomorrow's NY Times.
Gotta love the timing of this "revelation." Saturday edition, the least-read paper of the week. Let me guess, it was at the very bottom of Page A-38 as well. And of course this is the last we'll hear of these e-mails. The Dims in Congress will conveniently forget to mention them in the hearings, and the GOP will be too "genteel" to bring them up themselves.
Blanco need not have worried. The media would carry the lie to every corner of the earth.
This makes me feel total disgust for blanco all over again. These goons were plotting and spinning like this while people were still trapped in homes and attics dying? They should all be in jail.
First sentence is off base...While it is true that every democrat in LA was blaming Bush, the Bush Administration was HARDLY doing much to correct the lies being told by the LA officials and the press.
What a hoot -- the governor's staff wanted her to portray that she was calm and in control.
Had the socialists in the country not been so eager to bash this President and had Governor Blanco and Mayor Nagin done their jobs and the news not been so bogus in their reporting the truth of the tangled political morass in Louisiana and what was actually happening in New Orleans, could have spared the country – nay the world, this sordid spectacle of the thoroughly corrupt Third World welfare state of Louisiana.
The lessons learned were invaluable – FEMA is NOT a first responder nor is Washington, D.C. Where ever the crisis, the STATE is the First Responder. Mississippi and Alabama were well prepared as Florida had been in the days before; all the former were hit just as hard by Katrina but followed their emergency plans.
Not to minimize the pain, suffering, and loss of the citizens of Louisiana, those people had better grow up and find a new form of Government, one where they share in the responsibilities rather than expect money for doing nothing for themselves – the Democratic party has shown their egregiousness of keeping many citizens on the Plantation for generations while reaping billions of federal tax dollars to keep the elected fat and happy when those $$ should have been fixing the levees and lifting the citizens off /out of bondage. Mary Landrieu has been on the levee board for over 25 years….whose fault is it Miss Mary?
Blanco's office scrambled to spin Katrina....send to everyone you know.
Please excuse the rant............
It worked, we have no democracy with our media.
Blanco purposefully dumped these e-mails friday morning.
We knew all along Blanco's aides were left wing moonbats obsessed about the pr of blaming the feds during a disaster.
MSM kept playing up Brown's e-mails but will give not a second to Blanco's.
Blanco also dumped this news on Friday night to take away any coverage of it. She wouldn't even let Brit Hume talk about it during the Grapevine segment.
Blanco sabotaged Bush giving him no power then blaming it on everyone else. Brown took the fall when the real culprits were Blanco's staff.
Blanco beating Jindal did more damage to our party than anything else.
Tom Davis King rino of virginia let Blanco have months to release the documents while threatening subpena against the white house.
Charlie Melancon played up the brown e-mails and released them right away but he is silent for his water girl blanco.
Blanco needs to be recalled asap.
PING! This would be above the fold of every major sunday newspaper if the President was a democrat and the Gov. a republican.
Absolutely disgusting....the Pubbies better jump on this and get Blank-o on the Hill PDQ to testify to this matter.
bump
Great response, huh? While the other states were actively involved in helping their citizens, Blanco's response was to stand on a street corner, yelling, "it's all their fault."
I said it before and I'll say it again; normal people don't react like paranoid nutcases...... unless they have something to hide. Either Blanco has managed to hire a staff made up of paranoids, or they were scared to death that the arrival of the Feds without strict oversight and control from Blanco's office would lead to something embarrassing being discovered. That embarrassment is most likely massive corruption and embezzlement by LA pols. The phony "police who don't exist" on the NO payroll is probably the tip of the iceberg of embezzlement of federal funds that has been going on for years down there. There was more than just incompetence at work after Katrina; I'll bet you the relief efforts were screwed-up in order to obstruct the discovery of criminal activity by LA pols. People died so that these scumbags could try to hide their crimes. That's murder.
I contend that the Democrats had a long-standing plan to do this. Louisiana was the only state along the Southern Atlantic and Gulf Coast controlled by Democrats. Sooner or later, a hurricane was bound to hit. They built a plan to discredit the Bush Administration, and when Katrina hit, they swung into action.
We now have the proof of their execution, one can only hope that the evidence for the conspiracy will come to light as well.
