What I haven't heard discussed is the Louisiana politics here. The mayor of NO voted for GWB and came in as a reformer. He has been exposing the rotten core in the schools and alot of former politicos are being looked at.
Now I wonder how he and Mary get along seeing as how her father was a former mayor, most certainly some of the graft occurred in his administration. And we know how dems punish anyone who doesn't toe the line.
I don't know NO politics that well but I wonder if the Mayor has been punished during this run up to the hurricane. I would bet my bippy politics was involved in the decision about evacuation.
Didn't get to say this earlier, but glad to see you're still here.

Basically, 2-5 % here want to blame him because he's black.
He impressed me on WWL TV. Told a straight story I believe (for now). Tried to get helos to the levees, NG didn't respond well. NG later released BS generic statement.
We'll see what happens...
I don't think it's set in how many thousands may have died.
Absolutely.
From what I understand, in order to declare a mandatory evacuation, you have to have a place to house people.
I bet there was plenty of politics and plenty of plans to lay this at his feet, but he is pretty innocent.
When they have hearings on this, and they will, I hope he throws the whole lot of them under the bus.
He knows things.
