Newt says that mardi gras 2006 should be our target to getting new orleans up and running again.

Totally out of touch with reality to try for this.

Newt is no longer even a useful idiot.

I was born and raised in Elba. The sound of a nearby helicopter always takes me home.

Gingrich only talking about negative things - what happens to jobs, senior citizens, schools, this, that. no positive comments at all about the efforts conducted so far.

next up on Hannity - GERALDO RIVERA!

Newt's talking point is: all three levels of government, both parties, equally at fault.

Gosh almighty.

The LEFT makes the most low-down, outrageous charges, wall-to-wall on every newscast and every news venue. Then WE---Republicans---reply with, "That is wrong---it is EVERYONE's fault. Ours too."

WHY do we placate and equivocate and bend over and cowtow to the left!???

Just heard Gingrich talk on Hannity's radio program.

He're is a smart guy, who could do the responsible thing and express the truth - yet he doesn't. He blames the Feds because LA state authorities would let relief come in. Go figure.

Crap weasles, all of 'em.

Here is a story about the problems with the Ivan contraflow.

Thank you for that.

I hope no one forgets the newly coined label 'lake nagin'.

because the insiders are tied to what they hear from the mainstream media.

I was led to understand that is was used as a floating hotel being retrofitted for PEMEX.

I've been on some of those platforms but mostly West of New Orleans.

Used to helicopter out of Morgan City but that was many years ago.

You know, Mr. Hannity, I was willing to listen to Newt's vapid equivocations, but up next is Whorealdo?

Sorry, but the FNC rule applies: If Whorealdo comes on, FNC goes OFF.

Yes! He reiterated everything he said!

This cut off most of what he did say.
It was the "bs" part that impressed a lot of folks.

What I liked was his taking charge and putting them in their place! "Have you been in N.O.? If you haven't you don't know what the first responders have done and are doing!"

In other words, "Sit down and shut up"!

I loved it!

Has anyone been hearing the report that when the survivors get on planes and learn they are going to Utah, they want off? What's up with that? Whatever happened to "beggars can't be choosers"?

bourbon street isn't flooded right now. mardi gras 2006 will be just fine. once they can get the electricity back on, you will see the parts of the city not underwater coming back quickly.

Newt today speaking of the NO situation reminded me of Trent Lott during the Clinton impeachment...

The mayor is in charge of local police, the Parrish, county governments are in charge of those, the governors are in charge of the National Guard, the President is in charge of Active duty forces only.

FEMA relies on all those in a state to tell them what they need. FEMA was prepositioned in 3 states, but the HURRICANE did so much damage it took days to cut trees, rebuild roads, find ways around washed out bridges, etc. to get to those in the most need.

Look at Mississippi and Alabama, they are already cleaning up and rebuilding. The folks are receiving food, water, ice, and meds, as well as help to clean up.

Louisiana is still a mess as the Governor refuses to give the President the power to do it all. IMHO!

West Point and other military educational institutions cover alot of useful information, but being taught the basics is only the beginning.

For the teaching to find root, the student has to live in an environment where mistakes cost him the lives of people he cares about for an extended period of time.

At that point the training becomes symbiotic with the personality and only then does it reach maximum effectiveness.

A political career, along with most others, isn't very fertile ground for a personality that understands the nature of absolute equations.
