They got internal combustion engines! Pull 'em out and see if they sputter to life for goodness sake!!! (right?)

People think that rich people had to be smarter than the rest of us, or they think that people that got elected to something or other had to be smarter than the rest of us and that's just pure BUNK!!!

This is another reason I git so pist off at people, including FReepers that git so danged infatuated with celebrities that they think they should be made Governors and such, just because they've spent their lives trying to become famous, or a movie prop!!! Screw these idiots! They've got NOTHIN on the rest of us!!!

Did any of you see Senator Landrieu on the helocopter with George Steponallofus of ABC today pointing to the one lone crane operator and bawling about what she presumed was the ONLY shovel/crane working on repairing the levees?

To me it looked like a private back-hoe operator and not even an Army Corps of Engineers contractor, but what the heck do I know... (don't answer that!) Anyway, she really cranked up the ol act of bawling and poor George just remained quiet and seemed pleased to have something so dramatic. Said she would be on his show tomorrow, as well. (barf)

Amazingly, Nagin is quite the hero in NO after his rant about not getting any help.

Also in all seriousness, any plan to use these buses to get the poor people out must be local in nature. There is no way that Uncle Sam in DC knows where and when to load up the project dwellers. This is a LOCAL NO issue pure and simple. They can't blame this on oppression by The Man. No way.

Many of those people suffering in the Superdome should have been bused out. DENIAL ain't just a lake in Louisiana.

I guess she and the mayor decided not to use the submerged buses in NO, Must have concluded there was no need for them now that the city is almost evacuated. S\

Nagin is in the pocket of the local community "leaders". He gives them what they want-they give him what he wants.

To them, control of the government means more than life it'self!!! That means not only their life, but yours too!!! How many mysterious losses of life during the Clinton years? Think about it a little more. Sure some of it is just accident, or coinkydink... but some of it is most certainly NOT!!!

There were aerial shots of TWO lots full of buses. There were 400+ (I counted), not 100+.

I think they should make him governor. He's obviously way more qualified than the current one.

I know it. I was just taking a stab at the number from a much narrower angle picture that evidently was on Drudges site earlier today. The ariel shots really make a count possible, which I had been unable to do at that time of my hurried statement!

It's good that you clean up these little messes, because FR is way more precise than the MSM!!!

Did that on 9-1 did she, should have done it last saturday of sunday, thing it might have helped with the evacuation.

Well, no. The NO City Executive should have done it then. Since they didn't she probably should have done it by late Tuesday.
