[Trust but Verify]

I have a different take on this interview. It seems to me he is not answering the the question why didn't he use school buses BEFORE the storm, but why wasn't he using them AFTER the storm. Here's the telling quote:

where he explained why he didn't use hundreds of city school buses to evacuate his city's flood victims

They weren't flood victims until after the storm.

Quite true. Doubt it would have made any difference either way. It's the entitlement mentality. Moi? A yellow bus? Non! (Implication: white people would have Greyhounds sent for them so send them for us).
