Just heard on FOX that Blanco refused to allow supplies to be brought to the stadium, "Because they wanted all those people to leave, and they didn't want to create a magnet to bring others there, by bringing in food and water!"""
What a maroon.
What I want to know is where Governor Blanco was getting her orders from? Do the letters D-N-C mean anything to you?
She's the governor of the entire state, not just New Orleans. Most of Louisiana is up and running just fine, and they can let the people who are in Texas and elsewhere vote absentee.
Hahahahahahaha. That's a great line. Refreshing honesty.
Gov. Blanco did the opposite....she didn't provide drink and food and people DIED. She needs to be held responsible!!!
Oh yeah, Today when she was talking to David Lee Miller on Fox she said, "In this case the Governor, THAT WOULD BE ME, Issues......."
...I remember when he said he was there "to set things straight" and "fix the things that needed fixing"...guess Dubya had to chase Blanco around a bit too....remember she couldn't be found ,or evaded the meeting with the Prez... Like I said before she needs to get slapped on the nose with a newspaper and sent to a wet basement

Well, doesn't that just flim your flam. Right, abdicate responsibility and then screech that it's Bush's fault.
You know your lib buddies will say that is just right wing Fox News. Plus they will say if that was true, then EVERONE would have reported. As if the MSM is not bias or dishonest with the public... Fact and logic do not mean anything to leftist.
Gov Blanco: "Let them eat cake. No, wait, if they do that, they just stay and want more."
Methinks Nagin will start singing like a canary real soon.
I love Major Garrett! He's done some great reporting since he left CNN.
No one before Major Garrett bothered to ask the Red Cross WHY they didn't show up??? Geesh.....our media is soooooo uncurious about IMPORTANT things.
At what point is she prosecutable for negligence if they can prove she was deliberately obstructing the relief effort?
Not trying to be a conspiracy theorist nut job.
Not saying that happened....just curious...since it looks more and more like she got in the way, whether it was deliberate or just incompetence on her part. If it was deliberate, is that prosecutable?
Well .. if the Gov told HS not to give them food and water - then why wouldn't HS have told the Red Cross - the Gov doesn't want food and water there - in order to encourage people to leave.
My question is ..: If they wanted the people to leave so bad - they should have taken the idle buses and MOVED THEM. Good grief. No common sense was used in over a week.
The La. government thought it was a bad idea to bring food to the Superdome & Convention Center because they didn't want the refugees to disperse.
Now, will Katie & Oprah & the Alphabets report it?
LA Homeland Security (the states controlled agency, not the federal homeland security) refused them entry.
Who is the head of homeland security for the state of LA (not the federal homeland security, the state version)????
