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.
He made it very clear, he was only responsible for the FEDERAL efforts.
Somebody needs to bitch slap that stupid hag or at least call her out. The Republicans are just too polite when dealing with this IDIOTS. She needs to stand in the public and answer questions asked by us Freepers.
This woman is doing everything she can to push everything on the feds...but the truth will come out!
I suggest that she get out there and speed it up herself.
The dead "deserve more respect than they have received," she said at state police headquarters in Baton Rouge."
Just looking out for those who will be voting in LA next elections.
Those corpses brought to you courtesy of Governor Blanco and the good people of the Louisiana State government.
What a Blanco - I mean maroon.
Blanco doesn't have to be as long as George Bush is willing to take the blame for everything that went wrong.
It has been my opinion since the beginning that this woman does not have the brains to act as she has and that she is receiving her marching orders from D.C. Democrats. She's done a nice job of creating chaos and then having Bush apologize for it. Does anyone know what Carville has been up to recently?
I agree.
We MADE the German civilians who lived near the concentration camps collect the dead. Nagin & Blanco should be made to do it ALONE!
Too late, lady. You needed to take action more than 2 weeks ago, when you could have actually prevented the deaths.
Shameless pandering to her base.
A man kills his parents and then begs for lenience from the Court because he's an orphan.
'Nuff said.
Blanco's fault.
Asked for the dollar amount of the contract, SCI spokesman Gregory Bolton referred questions to Kenyon spokesmen.Kenyon spokesman Bill Berry said he didn't have a cost figure for work in Louisiana, but added that Kenyon has had a FEMA contract since 1997, was activated after 9-11, is working in Louisiana only so far, and isn't recovering bodies.
Great comment, Blanco. This coming from someone who had no respect for their value as human beings when they were alive.
*****
Exactly. Just when I think a dem can't get any more stupid or sink to any new lows, one of them comes along and restores my faith.
Exactly.
'I need bodies!"
'I made sure as little as possible would be done to get those peons out of there so I know they have to be there.'
'How can I keep getting sympathy ($) without thousands of bodies?'
"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."
And who died and made them king?
She makes a lousy gov, but she found her new calling: undertaker.
FOB, and hence now a FOW... just like Bubba
