Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco lashed out at FEMA on Tuesday, complaining the agency is moving too slowly in recovering the bodies of those killed by Hurricane Katrina.

The dead "deserve more respect than they have received," she said at state police headquarters in Baton Rouge.

She said that the Federal Emergency Management Agency still has not signed a contract with the company hired to handle the removal of the bodies, Houston-based Kenyon International Emergency Services.

Calls to a FEMA spokesman in New Orleans and the Homeland Security Department in Washington were not immediately returned.

Governor Blanco plays the victim card. But I will say this: she is being specific about the help she wants, so let's get on with it.

the idea that women are just as effective executives just got shot to hell with this woman....

Little women can't take the pressure.

hey-hey ho-ho Blank-o Dubois has got to go. Where's Stanley Kowalski when we need him?

She’s still hoping there will be 10,000 dead.

OMG, this b*tch still hasn't learned to shut her stupid mouth. Does she have a clue? Is she too stupid to realize it's HER FAULT these people are dead????

No to be crass, but would it be worth the number of deaths incurred to keep The Beast from the Oval Office?

You don't have to worry about being crass because you don't have to answer that question. What is, is. Depending on your definition of the word "is" of course. That's the beauty of it.

Oh I think I know. If FEMA doesn't sign the contract the state of Louisiana might have to pay the company. Why is FEMA responsible for body removal anyway?

[threeleftsmakearight]

Does anyone still believe that Blanco speaks for herself?
It's obvious the Dem party, if not MoveOn or Daily Kos, has taken over her office and is giving her her lines. She's obviously not smart enough to come up with stuff herself.

When condicting a grid search, you don't jump willy nilly about the city. You methodicxally search, grid by grid.

Some gay looking doctor with brigh blue wire glasses came on Fox last night full of faux outrage that there was a body in the street and FEMA didn't come pick it up.

So why isn't she out there helping to recover the bodies? Perhps they just need one more volunteer and they could get the job done right.(...what a skank)

Mortuary teams were deployed last week.

Bumping that question.

[rockabyebaby]

You agree with her???? Are you serious???? It's her fault these people are dead, AND if she doesn't like how it's being done why isn't she doing something about it, she is the governor after all, oh but wait, she's INCOMPETENT so it's no suprise she's making this stupid statement, however, I find it surprising someone would actually agree with her nonsense.

[auto power]

...will somebody please shut this mouth piece up.

[hiredhand]

Also...it would have been just a tad q-u-i-c-k-e-r had the Feds NOT had to pull back for a couple of days on account of her hostile welfare masses.

quick, someone name one thing that this idiotic woman has done right. just one.

Comic relief! Every time she opens her mouth, I laugh. True, she scares the kids, but I think she's hilarious!
