NEW ORLEANS -- Starved for cash, the New Orleans school district is taking a long shot and hoping to sell its flooded, unsalvageable school buses on eBay.

TOPICS: Culture/Society; Government; News/Current Events; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: bus; hurrican; katrina; neworleans
Phase 1 ~ Nagin neglects to evacuate his citizens with these vehicles.

Phase 2 ~ Katrina floods New Orleans and the rest is history.

Phase 3 ~ Buses sit in water, some up to the roof, for months.

Phase 4 ~ NO sells buses on eBay

Phase 5 ~ I bid 10 bucks.

Phase 6 ~ New Orleans asks the federal government for 260 brand new school buses, on the taxpayer.

And all Nagin had to do was load up the buses with his people.

You better not bid anything for these pieces of junk, lest your bid be accepted and you get stuck with one.

They need to put at least one N.O. bus by the bus at the civil rights museum.

Hmmmm?? Too bad some "rich" repub can't buy up a bunch of these busses and place them in strategic places with a sign: To keep your school busses from looking like this - Vote Republican.
