Bush's only mistake is he gave the Gov of LA 24 hours to make a decision. But what was he supposed to do? Break the law?
LOL! It took me longer.
If you can find a map showing the Parish boundaries, you'll understand.
Jefferson Parish crosses the Mississippi River. The portion "east" of the river flooded, along with the rest of downtown New Orleans, from a breach on the other side of the 17th Canal. The portion of Jefferson Parish "west" of the river fared much better.
That's what I thought too! Thyroid. Pasty skin. Greasy hair. Swelling around the eyes and face. Hawaii must not have botox treatments :-)
numbers indicate bodies inside to be retrieved later.
I just looked up Jada Pinkett's nose.
That's the non flooded ones. I've seen that too. They are on dry land painting Xs.
You just watch. She's going to frame EVERY issue in the future when it comes to tax cuts, getting rid of the Estate Tax, etc., as hurting the people of New Orleans.
Whoa....you got an e-mail from Scarborough chastising YOU about injecting politics in this?

Updates as they come in on Katrina

8:10 P.M. - Rev. Jesse Jackson: There must be a moratorium made on banks/businesses foreclosing on home owners who’ve missed payments because of Hurricane Katrina. The federal government should put a freeze on all foreclosures for the time being.
8:08 P.M. - Jackson: There is a surplus of water and diapers, what we need are mobile homes.
8:06 P.M. - Jackson: Venezuela offered help, but was turned away.
8:05 P.M. - Jackson: Sending people away to Utah, Montana and Minnesota makes no sense. Send them to local military facilities that are not in use, and bringing mobile homes in for people to stay in. Cleo (Fields) is talking about opening up state parks that have cabins and living facilities for evacuees. Louisianans should be living in Louisiana.
FEMA did not have a plan for a massive rescue or of receiving of evacuees. Said Homeland Security turned away the American Red Cross by saying it was too dangerous.
7:42 P.M. - Congressman Bobby Jindal: People who want to volunteer for search and rescue operations, police from outside the state who want to help, all should be able to come to New Orleans without fear of wading through bureaucratic red tape. My constitutients don't care who brings them food and water, or take them to safety, just help these people.
On rebuilding the city: Shame on us if we strive to rebuild the same city -- education and health care wise, etc. We should use this opportunity to construct a better New Orleans. Let's use these resources which can only help to contribute to this greater goal. We need to maintain our history while building for the future.
7:42 P.M. - Jindal: Don't just tell people what they want to hear, be honest with them and let them know that you have a plan for the future. The people don't expect to have all their problems solved overnight, but they expect a plan.
Myself and you should see some of the things I've seen lately. Good grief!
Another thing I'm tired of is the refrain "these people have lost everything." Bet you alot of them didn't have anything to begin with. I might not know much but I know street people when I see them!
Didnt the city officials say it had small holes in it.....sheesh, its redtagged.
Guess Sean Penn was too busy going on about accountability to notice it was being done.
I mean really what's the priority here? Searching house to house or rescue?
Note to Media: -- When you start interviewing Sean Penn, it's time to pull back on the 24/7 coverage.
You've got to be kidding. What would be the motivation for that?
Did you hear Greta tell Sean and Alan that Bubba Clinton told her that he had some things to talk to her about regarding the levees sometime?
Do tell .. what did it say??
Is there anything YOU need???
Yep!
