Did she really take up a seat on a bus evacuating people for a photo op?

[Clintonfatigued]

Is anybody surprised?

Did she really take up a seat on a bus evacuating people for a photo op?

Must have missed her space on Sean Penn's boat.

Maybe it will take this great tragedy for people to realize once and for all that those who cry racism loudest are the biggest racists. But I won't hold my breath.

[msnimje]

Without Racial unrest, she and Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have no careers. They have to create it were it does not exist.

[DoughtyOne]

Race pimps everywhere you look these days.

This idiot never fails to perform true to type. One of Compton's finest.

[Natural Law]

She is the example of "no class".

[Graybeard58]

Maxine Waters is a total idiot and anything that spews from her mouth is idiocy.

[Shqipo]

Absolutely. Hardworking tax payers yet again bailing out welfare recipients and getting a "What took your *ss so long" for a thank you.

Times-Picayune | 8/28/2005 | Times-Picayune (AP) Members of the Congressional Black Caucus have called for the Impeachment of President GW Bush after Bush federalized the City of New Orleans. Lt. Gen. [Russel] Honore took control of the Mayor's office on Friday as thousand of residence were loaded onto school buses to get them out of the city, 72 hours as mandated, prior to the projected landing of Katrina...

Why do we even post this nonsense?

What business does a Rep from CA have in NOLA?

Not a damn thing other than posing and causing trouble, IMO.

[T Lady]

I wondered how long it would take for this harridan to finally get hold of a microphone and start blathering.

...But I have to grudgingly admit that she's right about getting things back in order. If only she didn't play the old Race Card, maybe then I'd have a little more respect for her.

[swheats]

Let's hope she stood the whole trip.

[quack]

Waters said the delay in rescuing the stranded masses of people in the New Orleans region shows "a class division."

Yep,I saw white people rescuing black people.Class division and racism at it finest.I even saw rescuers asking for peoples Gold Cards to insure that no underclass citizens got on board first.(extreme sarcasm)

[mombonn]

Rep. Maxine Waters, D-California, arrived in Baton Rouge on Saturday

Where was SHE until now? The president has already visited the region.

Did she wait until HER vacation was over?

I HATE these liberal mouths.

[Fred Hayek]

I'm in the mean SOB mode about this.

It's time to throw the racism charges right back at the Democrats. Who was the primary delay in the evacuation, and getting aid to NOLA? The Democrat governor (white) of Louisiana. The Democrat governor (white) of Louisiana ignored the President regarding mandatory evacuation, and refused the suggestion of putting the NG under Federal control, instead having a Clintonista run the "effort". And why? Because of political pettiness, don't want to be seen taking a recommendation from a Republican! Yeppers, petty image concerns are more important than getting the hard work done (got to put a /sarcasm after that sentence).

BTW, I'm white (polish-scots-irish).

Do the people of Louisiana now wish they should have voted for Bobby Jindal?

The Southern Louisiana Evacuation Plan specifically stated that people without private transportation were to be transported on public buses.

There were not just "200 buses". There were 200 buses in just one photo and Freepers studying the post-Katrina satellite images have counted over 400 buses altogether at other city parking.

At 70 people per bus that is 28,000 people per round trip that could have been taken out of the storm surge area in the 48 hours prior the Katrina striking.

After the storm hit, what makes you think that buses sent from outside of New Orleans could drive through the flooded mess any better than the 145 New Orleans city buses that were parked 1.2 miles away from the Superdome?

Was Scotty supposed to beam the outside buses to the Superdome and them beam them back out so that they would not have to drive through impassable roads?

The time to evacuate those 200,000 low-income people on public buses OUT OF THE STORM SURGE ZONE was BEFORE the Category 4 storm struck.

That was what the Southern Louisiana Evacuation Plan for New Orleans specifically called for.

The Democrat Governor and the Democrat Mayor did NOTHING to carry out that portion of the plan. They left 200,000 low-income resident abandoned and they now blame the Federal Government for not having Scotty beam down a massive logistics effort after a human disaster of their own making.

Here is just one other example as to why to post this stuff about the beloved Maxine:

Letter to Maxine Waters from Larry Elder, L.A. talk show host www.larryelder.com ^ | 10/23/01 | Larry Elder

In 1979, former Black Panther, Joanne Chesimard, gunned down a New Jersey State Highway Patrol Officer. A jury convicted her of murder, and sentenced her to life in prison. In a daring breakout, Chesimard escaped from prison and fled to Cuba. Congress passed a unanimous resolution urging Castro to send Chesimard back to America and face charges. You, however, wrote Castro a letter, urging him to let her stay, stating "she was persecuted as a result of her political beliefs and affiliations." You further likened her to Martin Luther King!

Hand the ditz a mop and have her clean the bathrooms in the Superdome.
