"How many people did you see signalling for a helicopter while standing on top of a submerged car or truck? Or standing on top of a roof where they'd chopped a hole with that legendary axe in the attic?"

I heard estimates of roughly 20,000 in attics or on rooftops. Countless boats used. At least 1000 helicopters used over the course of the rescue. This is almost exactly the number estimated by the OEP that would be killed or need to be rescued by a major flood. That number came from the estimates for those without transportation or the means to pay for their evacuation.

I'm tired of these moonbat lefties using my home state for political gain. I was here for Katrina, and I'm right next door to New Orleans. I know what it's like to have a giant hurricane pass over your head. McCaskill is nothing more than a third-rate political hack feasting off the pain of others to win a Senate seat.

I'm sick of these people.
