which, of course, is a non sequitur. there's not a local govt in the
US that could handle a disaster like katrina. the feds, under bush,
ignored FEMA and appointed a horse lawyer to head the agency....they
didn't take it seriously
No local gov has to by themselves... they just have to ask for
assistance from the feds. Nagel and Blanco did not.


Any shine you may have had has quickly worn off... you've become
another insincere, disingenuous non-boating liberal shill in this NG.
fine. you let me know how your local govt would deal with a disaster
like katrina. go ahead...we'll wait
Reference Hugo... The SC gov asked for federal assistance in a timely
manner, evacuated it's citizens before landfall, and was as ready as
it could be. They did what they needed, and were supposed to do.

Nagel and Blanco failed miserably in NO. Bush tried to get them to
let feds take over, and they refused. Two days after landfall, they
finally asked for federal assistance. The blood is on their hands.
Oh, and they are Demoncrats.
The National Weather Service tried to put the fear of god into those
people a full 3 days in advance of that disaster. What in the world were
those people thinking? They must have been waiting for the big black
government limousines to come and pick them up and carry them to safety.
There is a downside to demanding cradle to grave Government guidance and
protection. I hope we learn that lesson before it's too late. Maybe it's
too late already.


Yeah, the poor had lots of way out. All of them by bus that too them to
the sports arena.

Calm down Tootsie. You're starting to make typos. Check the timeline of
the days before K day and report back what preparations were made by state
and local government. Could those busses have been used to transport the
disadvantaged to a location a little safer and cleaner than the downtown
sports arena. Did the democratic state and local administrations do
anything to aid and comfort their people? If so, what?


Calm down Jimmy Bob. I'm probably smarter than you. I know you want to blame
Democrats for everything, and Brownie had lots of experience with horse law,
and Bush can ride a horse, but that sort of logic belongs in a comedy show
and not in a logical argument.
