Well LittleRedRooster, when you posted this, you sure caught a good one!

This is dated September 1. That was Thursday, day before yesterday. I think I'm shocked, but I shouldn't be.

This may be the reason the Governor has bowed out of the Hurricane relief work, and appointed James Lee Witt to be in charge.

Along with this little tidbit thanks to drudge:
Louisiana disaster plan, pg 13, para 5 , dated 01/00

'The primary means of hurricane evacuation will be personal vehicles. School and municipal buses, government-owned vehicles and vehicles provided by volunteer agencies may be used to provide transportation for individuals who lack transportation and require assistance in evacuating'...

In all seriousness, these people are in denial of the fact that maybe thousands of people are dead because of these buses. I really do feel for their mental stability when they finally confront this issue. I certainly don't think it was intentional but the are going to hurt greatly and for that I am sorry.

I didn't realize it, but those are the same EOs, Replacements.

They were linked with different dates, so I thought I was going to get different versions.

"BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- Arkansan James Lee Witt, the former head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency under President Bill Clinton, joined the Louisiana government Saturday to help direct the recovery from Hurricane Katrina.
Witt, who ran FEMA from 1993 to 2001, said he will stay as long as he as needed.

"He will sit at the table for me, and he will be my voice at the table," Gov. Kathleen Blanco said."

YaYa, I think you'll note that some of these are replacemet EOs and may actually pertain to an innitial EO that may have been active days earlier. At this point, I'm not certain what the full picture is.
