Once the Truth starts getting out
You just watch how they all change their tune
They want an investigation as who to blame
I say BRING IT ONE!!
And Let's start with opening the dang books of NOLA and where all the bleeping Fed money went to
From what I have seen of the shelters, especially the one at the Astrodome, they have good medical care...and they are trying to give children play areas away from the adults...
I even heard that in the Astrodome, they may have schooling there.
In the Dallas area, I am not so sure...because both newspapers are so leftist that I don't read them.
It's 'bout time our side got in a few licks. Can't wait for Rush tomorrow.
Where did you find this? It is golden!!
"plenty of blame to go around" -- that's Jindal's chant too, after he blames FEMA by name. Hume's interviews tonight are very good.
Wasn't it Reagan who said "Thou shalt not speak ill of another member of your party"? I always thought it was like family. The whole family knows Uncle Art is a drunk, but ya just don't go around town telling people. Ya don't let others talk about Uncle Art either.
LOL. The weather isn't the only culture shock they will get. They may even learn to love it.
I'd be clamoring for aninvestigation if I trusted the Senators, but I do think a competant truthful investigation benefits US not the Dems.
I'm just glad these damn "Republicans" that ran in thoughts it would protect their skins are having it come back to bite them in the behind.
Tammy Bruce is also kicking butt on Laura's show right now too (NYC time shift).
It is rather amazing isn't it...that NONE of the evening talk shows have even brought up Landrieu's threat to Bush in any significant way...
Brit made a joking aside about it, but not a discussion.
Yes, $2.59 is very cheap. This is my local gas station, Olde Towne Chevron on Jackson Avenue in Ridgeland, Mississippi. The owner said he got tired of seeing people waste so much gas waiting in line so he decided to sell by appointment. He said this is great for his station, because he is now guaranteed to have customers at the station all day long every day, and no one gets mad in line and punches someone else. He said he is going to keep his profit at the same level as before Hurricane Katrina. I told him he is a Great American!
Keep up the good fight!
If he was smarp he would have kept him damn mouth shut and wait for evidence, while helping to restore order. that is what a leader does.
Moon Griffon had it posted on his website and talked about it on his radio show. Here's an article about it.

Web site of deceit
By John Maginnis , Columnist
08.31.05 -
Not only does the governor have a black mold problem in the Mansion, causing her to live in a rented house for the summer, but her offices in the State Capitol appear to have a plumbing problem, following the embarrassing leak of a confidential memo on how to deal with partisan opposition.
The memo was sent to the governor's communications director Bob Mann by his friend and former journalist John Copes, who refers to their conversations about "the most serious problem Democrats in Louisiana now face." According to the memo, that would be a "right-wing destruction machine" consisting of a Republican Party "that becomes more organized, more belligerent and more nakedly partisan by the day" coupled with "daily message-peddling by GOP surrogates" in the mainstream media, talk radio and Internet web sites.
The writer recommends that Democrats develop "an offensive capability of our own" and "a much more agile and effective defense" through a web site that would rally the troops and return fire on opponents.
Up to this point, the memo makes perfect sense, recommending a communications strategy no more pernicious than that deployed by both national parties.
But then the memo heads for the deep end by exploring how to conceal the web site's source, including "to masquerade as some sort of anonymous non-partisan do-gooder group." Though the writer doubts such a ploy would "pass the smell test," he sees the need "to come up with some kind of story about who's doing the site and why" without identifying the state's top Democrats behind it.
While state officials wrote none of the above words, the memo refers to frequent if not-so-recent discussions with the governor's communications director about how to deal with the administration's critics.
Some of those critics on talk radio and the Internet blasted the administration's consideration of the web site project, however nascent, as deceitful and chilling. How much the administration even entertained the idea is unknown, though you can be sure that any discussion of it on the Fourth Floor now is strictly verboten.
That's too bad for the administration; distancing itself from the memo does not deal with the problem of a lack of an effective offense or defense in dealing with its critics. The question raised in the missive, "So what are we going to do about it?" goes unanswered.
Of course, the best way for the governor to foil her critics is to not fuel them with her bad decisions, such as trying to quadruple the tax on cigarettes in order to raise teacher pay in the face of $360 million in newly recognized revenue. There was a different way she could have achieved the same end that would have provided less ammunition for the Republicans.
As for the Republicans, why shouldn't they be "nakedly partisan," as opposed to Democrats masquerading as non-partisan do-gooders? Maybe it's time for the Democrats to get naked and act like the party in power.
The memo is right on when it speaks of the need for an informative, entertaining web site that comments on the news of the day, promotes the good deeds of Democratic officials and takes on the opposition by "correcting the calumnies hurled against us" or "sometimes we just poke fun."
There is no better bunch to handle such a project than the Louisiana Democratic Party, whose current Internet offering needs both some serious work and to not take itself so seriously. Perhaps our centrist governor doesn't want to be too upfront about being, you know, a Democrat. But she either defines herself as such or the Republicans will do it for her in time for the next legislative session and her next election.
If the Democrats ever present such a hip, informative, entertaining web site, the Republicans just might respond in kind. Imagine, a competition of ideas and wits for the hearts and minds of an electorate that, judging by recent voter turnout, badly needs to be engaged. That's no chill running down my spine, it's a tingle
Agreed. No one soft throws to our side. They deserve to be hit hard when they pull these lame brained moves. Glad to see brit and Sean stepped up on FNC.
< Hard to believe. They knew a Cat 5 was coming and they had levees designed for Cat 3. >
...so I have to ask. Is every building and home and roadway in CA ready for the BIG one?
It's coming out......and if you listen, it's not hard to see which "ones" are behind the curve.
O'Reilly; Scarborough; CNN; Gibson; and almost everybody else; you'll be hearing a marked change by about Wednesday.
If what I am reading about Sean is true, he's changed HIS tune, too.
I don't see these other Republicans doing that. The only one that follows that rule is President Bush. So if they think they can attack him, they deserve whatever they get.
"Brit made a joking aside about it, but not a discussion."
I saw that.
