Blanco says "if only I'd been a Republican"
Can you say Governor Jindal. IMHO, LA is going to be a state full of opportunity very soon.
“When I look back at the storms, if I had had the knowledge that I would be treated as a pariah by the national Republicans in office, I would have joined the Republican Party to save my state,” Blanco quipped.
“Then I would have been hugged and kissed and lifted, and I would have been declared the best governor in this whole country,” the governor said. “I wish I had realized that earlier. I think that was the fatal error.”
Yeah well Miss Blanko, President Bush was a Republican President, and you and your administration pushed blaimed on him and tried to make him look like the worst President of all time. You play with fire, and you are going to get burned.
All kidding aside she proved to be a ditherer during the Katrina emergency.
Currently halfway through his 10-year prison term for extorting payoffs in exchange for riverboat casino licenses, he has said nothing publicly about the governor’s handling of the storm, but he did tell a close friend who visits regularly that federalizing the guard troops would have been a “no-brainer.” The 78-year-old former governor, said his friend, “is very concerned about the leadership of this state.”
