I've watched the pubbies sit back and let the screaming hyenas blame the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT for Katrinia failures and not one dared to state firmly that America is a country of rugged individuals who should FIRST depend on themselves.

I think that's the ABSOLUTE killer. They should also have pointed out that the coast guard/navy/etc. saved tens of thousands. That was the top of the rollercoaster, it was all downhill from there.

That {Katrina as a symbol of failure instead of immense success] was the top of the rollercoaster, it was all downhill from there.

Agreed!

Susan Collins, that total moron, insisted that the deaths in New Orleans were the President's fault because he did not just take over the Lousiana National Guard.

Evidently it never occurred to her that NO president can just take over ANY state's National Guard without permission from the Governor. Despite pleading from the President, BlankO was determined that she was going to keep control, never mind taht lives were lost due to her decision.
