I disagree. Had she been referring to budgetary constraints, there would not have been a reference to "on a sunny day". Sorry, you are WRONG on this one. I heard the exchange when it happened and she insulted the New Orleans public workers.
I heard the exchane on replay, and taped it, and watched it several times.
"Sunny day" describes the best circumstance for the operation of transportation infrastructure. It actually is a relevant variable. And mass evacuations would have been more effective if there was a massive, operatine mass transportation system. But there wasn't.
There were those buses.
Her excuse is a lame one, but I don't believe she was impugning the workings in NOLA, Orlando, or whatever other cities she named. She was blaming the Feds for not making better transportation infrastructure.
Now Rush is bringing up the 'cooking the books' by Senator Landrieu, how she schemed to funnel the funding.
