McCaskill's spokeswoman Adrianne Marsh said her comment was referring to "what many people felt about the tragedy of the response to Katrina."

"Claire believes the response was gross incompetence that turned tragic because so many people in New Orleans did not have the resources to help themselves," Marsh added.

Well, golly gee whiz. The city had been run by democrats for decades - just where was the city Emergency Preparedness Plan and supplies that every city in America is supposed to have??? Oh, right, I remember reading it - it was a 'on paper only' plan - a look good ploy. Nothing to back it up . No food, water, supplies, evacuation means and routes = all things that are supposed to be the responsibility of the local officials for the first 2-4 days.

These DeimRAts are screaming "inaccuracies" on the ABC film = yet they continue to spew deliberate and slanderous lies...and no one calls them on it. WHY aren't WE shouting them down?
