Facts mean nothing, all they have to do is resurrect the word “Katrina” tie it in with a bunch of mumbo-jumbo and instant memories of racism and black lives don’t matter. I foresee a huge uptick in memories of Katrina between now and 11-16.

They had hundreds of public school buses that were just left in parking lots to get submerged.

This is a straw man/deflection tactic.

yep, but they bussed them out later and they are still where they got sent, a lot of them

Sure, but how long did that take? Houston wound up with a lot, President Boosch was former governor. How much arm twisting and bribery went on there and elsewhere? The fact that they were eventually evacuated and some stayed put does not refute my assertion.

Well thank you. The found a conservative black woman to run against Corrine this past election but she lost. Until the DEMOGRAPHICS change which is unlikely we are stuck with ms Brown.

My upscale neighborhood is in Kathy Castor’s district. Around me are 3 districts with Tea Party Republicans in them. I feel your pain..

Corrine Brown, Go Gata

Sheila Jackson Lee is in head to head competition with her for the most idiotic congresswoman and usually loses.

Corrine Brown is a lying sack of excrement.

Katrina hit on Sunday. That SATURDAY, AMTRAK canceled all service to and from New Orleans, just as Greyhound, too, at exactly twelve noon, the same time, that stinking Chocolate City Mayor Ray Nagin was on the TV telling people to leave the city, which stranded me, because I did not a car, nor had friends who did, either!

Meanwhile, “The cash is in the freezer” Congressman Jefferson, now a fed convict, was having the Louisina State National Guard move his stiff from his home.

Corrine Brown is another outstanding member of The Democratic Socialists of America.

Things like that didn’t happen before global warming, did they?

Obama took 6 TRILLION dollars to give us “shovel ready” public works projects, most of which usually being Transportation

ask O where he’s hiding our 6 TRILLION dollars and if you can find it, you can spend it on transportation projects

Yeah...I always get a chuckle when I watch that Corrine Brown video. But Corrine just got in line twice for her serving of stupid...Sheila Jackson Lee bellied up to the trough and hogged the rest of it, not letting anybody else even get close to having even the most meager serving of stupid.

So, yeah...Corrine Brown is pretty dumb. No question.

But the difference between Sheila Jackson Lee's brain and a bag of alcohol-soaked flaming dog doo-doo is merely the bag.

For my money...Sheila has Corrine beat hands-down in the world sweepstakes of stupid.

Uh, there was public transportation in New Orleans. It went unused as the locals took the opportunity to raid the stores for free stuff.

BINGO!

I say this as a bonafide resident of the Mississippi Coast where the hurricane really hit. 75 miles east of NO

Exactly...the busses were there, the intelligence and competence of leaders to get a process in place to use them to evacuate people was totally lacking.....

Here is a relatively simple math question for the proponents of rail travel in the 21st century:

A maglev express train leaves new orleans at 7:55am on a Monday morningbound for Miami. At 192mph and $99 for a ticket, how many tickets each week will it take for the train to be a financially viable route, and why does anyone pay for a ticket to board that train?

Bonus: change any variable or set of variables you want in an attempt to make this project appear profitable.
