""What do you think of Katrina Vandenheuvel's comment that the delay in response to Hurricane Katrina by this administration is even more damaging than the failure to find WMDs in Iraq?""
You are much better than I - -I refuse to listen to that hate-filled witch and her spewing of one lie after another on every subject.
I suppose no one asked Katrina van de evil if she has a CLUE who is supposed to be the 1st responders and where were Nagin, Blanco and the buses? Of course, given her political leanings, she doesn't believe in the city and state having responsibility, she believes in a nanny-state and that the Feds should take care of and be responsible for everything. A 2300-employee Fed agency is supposed to rush in and solve all problems and Bush should have called out the LA Nat'l guard - -if that had happened, the Dims would have been howling. Someone should also ask Katrina why the states w Pubbie Gov's didn't seem to have the issues NOLA. Yes, there were issues w the levees there, but MS lost a whole coast line.
Someone should also ask her ugliness, why evacuees can't be expected to pay for their own propane after all these months, especially since we're supplying them trailers in which to live
Katrina Evacuees Protest FEMA Notice

BAKER — Some hurricane evacuees at the 572-unit trailer park on Groom Road are worried and angry about notices that say they will have to buy their propane after Jan. 31.
About 40 people gathered Friday morning in front of a church across from Renaissance Village, the Federal Emergency Management Agency trailer park established for New Orleanians and others displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
The trailers have electric lights but propane is used for bathing, cooking, refrigeration and heat. The notices indicate that FEMA will no longer pay the cost for the propane.
Some residents — about 1,650 are at the trailer park — said FEMA is reneging on its agreement.
“They promised us that everything would be free for 18 months,” said Wilbert Ross, president of the village council.

And,
why Houston should have to put up w Katrina refugees who kill, steal, and assault and why the NOLA police didn't deal with them (oh yes, I forgot, they had a phantom dept).
Houston police arrest eight from New Orleans

A multilevel gang task force in Houston yesterday announced the arrests of eight hurricane refugees from New Orleans -- a group Houston police say is responsible for at least 11 slayings and numerous burglaries and thefts in the metropolitan area since November.
"We're talking about what appears to be a rivalry between two groups of individuals who were associated with two different housing projects in New Orleans," Houston police Capt. M.D. Brown told The Washington Times. "Their rivalry began several years ago -- certainly prior to Katrina -- and carried over to Houston."
He said the arrests came after "weeks of cooperation with Louisiana police and the FBI."
Houston's crime rate spiked noticeably in the final months of 2005, and police officials have attributed much of the increase to lawbreakers who moved to the city after Hurricane Katrina.

Sorry, but she gets my blood boiling! /rant off
I saw an article last week that said that business in New Orleans are having to close early and on some days because they can't find enough help...
They say they are paying very high salaries for busboys, waiters, waiteress...etc...but, can't find employees...
SOOOOOOOO...why aren't these people that can't pay for their own propane, lining up in the streets for these jobs??
