Blanco is a shameless liar, but then she is a Democrat—same difference.
While Blanco and Nagin were soiling their underwear during and after Katrina, the Coast Guard (Feds) rescued over 30,000 people.
The National Guard(Feds) mounted a mobile, self sustaining(no water, food, or gas along the way—think about it)relief convoy that had to cut through downed trees and drive through the 18,000 square miles of flooded terrain that was New Orleans and Louisiana, and they reached NO in 72 hours—that’s 3 days.
In 3 days, there was a complete breakdown of society in the SuperDome.
It was so embarassing to Americans that their fellow citizens, in the midst of a national disaster, instead of displaying the grit, resources, and helpfulness that Americans have ALWAYS displayed in such disasters, these citizens were the most whiny, leaderless, and unreliant people I ever saw. It was like watchimg something in a Third World country unfold.
Hey Blanco—President Bush is NOT a first responder. You and Nagin were the first line of defense and YOU FAILED MISERABLY.
Oh, and let me not acknowledge two other cretins who helped make it look like Katrina was Bush’s fault—Shep Smith and Geraldo Rivera. Idiots.
Over 5 times as many people evacuated in CA vs. NO. Look at the difference in the number and tyoes of incidents reported.
Blanco and Nagin need to be reviled everywhere they go for the rest of their life and never allowed to get away with their lying nonsense.
Exactly. And I’ll bet we won’t be hearing about looters running amok in San Diego or Malibu. Sorry, no iconic photos of ‘looter guy’ types from these widfires. Civility ruled the day.
The followup and placement of these people and how well the insurance companies come through will be absolutley crucial, though.
