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!"""
nah I didn't get to see that....
I misunderstood your post.
He talks fast, says too much. And if you think he screwed up so bad, well that is too bad. He is alot better and more honest and decent than what we have now.
What an incompetent wicked witch she is.
I was thinking the same thing. Bwaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaaaaa!
"i would expect this kind of mean behavior from a Republican"
What? Hey, wait a minute. Republicans would give food, water, and medical attention to persons in need. We are not Nazis, contrary to leftist fantasies.
Last night on O'Reilly (I know, I know), the woman who is in charge of the Red Cross said that they were turned back by the Louisiana Homeland Security. The way she said it though, I don't know how many people caught it. She said something like, "We were turned back by the homeland security department... the state's homeland security. As she said that last part, of course Bill started talking before she was finished and didn't elaborate on it.
There is a few shrills here at FR that been just as bad as FNC anchors.
Guy and his son drove down from DC and gave a van they had around - an RV -to the first homeless family they found. Her home was demolished. He handed the keys and the title to her. It was great.
If she-that-shall-not-be-named runs for President (a curse be upon her pants) CONSERVATIVE WOMEN who are going to have to face & fight her because they are going to use that "man picking on a woman" to it's full potential in debates & in any sort of confrontation.
Don't know how we will do it, but it's going to have to be done. Those 'rat female politicos are manly-girls.
Someone from the Red Cross also said this on Larry King on September 2 - the transcript was just posted on a thread but the thread was pulled.
"Hubris, that is Blanco's problem. Hubris."
Gravitas!
Seriously,
No joke,
The more I observe her and hear her talk,
the more I believe she is mentally unbalanced.
Someone needs to shoot her with a tranq gun and carry her out of the building.
Was that the Presidential visit where the Governor's PR flack said they didn't even know the President was coming? They can lie with the best of them. Must have learned it from Bubba.
In case you don't have this yet, try radioblogger.com
I would not have agreed with you earlier, but as more and more bits and pieces of the puzzle have come to light I have pretty much come to the same conclusion. Don't know if I would classify Nagin as "good", but I now believe he was caught in a trap.
Jindal is careful not to antagonize people here.
I posted this take on that subject earlier: I have spent a lot of time in Louisiana. What we are seeing in Jindal's action is him "closing ranks" with the people of Louisiana against outsiders, i.e. all the rest of us who are pointing out that they were woefully unprepared for this disaster.
This transcends political parties, and is a consequence of what pop psychologists call projection of the collective guilt they are feeling. Regardless of what they say, they know that the state of Louisiana, collectively, screwed-up big-time, but their pride will never allow them to admit it in the face of criticism from outsiders. A corollary of this is that any Louisiana politician who breaks ranks and "betrays" his state by agreeing with those outsiders is dead meat in Louisiana politics.
Jindal knows this, and knows that if he doesn't go along his political aspirations in LA are over.
I don't really watch CNN
Who is Nic Robertson and why is he helping Penn ?
She ain't no Margaret Thatcher, that's for sure.
