Of course we’re getting paid. Just like you’re getting paid by your dumbass employer to post idiotic irrelevancies on this communist run propaganda outlet when you’re supposed to be working.

Here’s something fun I found today. You know it’s like you Donk losers don’t hear what it is you’re saying. Please, keep up the good work. We could not rule the entire earth without your help. Really…….

Turns out, Nagin turned his nose up at the yellow buses, demanding more comfortable Greyhound coaches instead.

“I need 500 buses, man,” he told WWL. “One of the briefings we had they were talking about getting, you know, public school bus drivers to come down here and bus people out of here.”

Nagin described his response:

“I’m like – you’ve got to be kidding me. This is a natural disaster. Get every doggone Greyhound bus line in the country and get their asses moving to New Orleans.”

While Nagin was waiting for his Greyhound fleet, Katrina’s floodwaters swamped his school buses, rendering them unusable. —

“Thank you God for making my enemies such fools”.

Since you want to bring up planning by local and state officals, and how they screwed up, what about the “brillant”planning by the Feds for this disasterous war in Iraq? Mostly everything these “brillant planners” have done, has been a cluster-fuck! I hate this war, and don’t tell me I’m not patriotic, i’m a veteran, and support the troops, not this crazy imperial war for oil! There’s an old joke that goes like this: A nervous bank robber walks nervously into a bank, and in a high pitched voice, yells. “all right, you mother stickers! This is a fuck up!” That’s how I feel about the whole Iraq disaster. I guess these “brillant planners” did a great job doing their “homework” for pre=emptive war also, is that right?

Turd Defly (R) SugarLand TX. is a draft-dodging tiny little coward. It is a pesky little fly that eats shit, and bothers people. If it wanted to do something constructive, it would go to New Orleans, and eat all of the solid human waste it could, maybe that would help with preventing disease. It would help if this foul filthy creature would QUIT BOTHERING PEOPLE. Otherwise, it should keep it’s mouth-parts shut, and buzz itself out of the way, so PEOPLE could get things done!

Yea sure blame the mayor what a bunch of crap.

This storm also affected 4 states.

Federal government is where most of the blame should go.

They only have about 7 talking points that they use devotedly for any retort. It is obvious most are not Mensa material and pretty much hate themselves, thus the need for punishment. It’s kind of like “suicide by police.” They don’t believe half of what they say, they just want to be like the big men making more money than them (they are usually underlings to some corporate whore).

The “regulars” that come here and say the same thing over and over are really pathetic. I have chosen not to address them directly as they are masochistic and like it. Now we see why anyone would vote for such a low IQ drunk driver – masochism. It is the only logical answer. I have no concept of how their thought patterns have deviated from normal brain function. I suppose it all stems from childhood. Too bad that we don’t have more (any) people like Thurgood Marshall leading us; or a Martin Luther King who thinks of all of the US (world even) as a whole entity. Not like the aristocracy that runs this sinking ship of ours. I say MUTINY!!! These scumbags will pay in history – the truth will out, I promise.

One way or another, let’s get this straightened out once and for all.

As we’ve discussed over the course of the day, the Washington Post ran an article

today in which they reported, on the say-so of an unidentified “senior Bush official”, that as late as yesterday Louisiana Gov. Blanco still hadn’t gotten around to declaring a state of emergency. This, allegedly, had prevented a more rapid federal response.

Only this claim seemed to be belied by a copious public record, not least of which was the actual declaration of a state of emergency dated August 26th, 2005, available on the state of Louisiana website.

The falsity of what the “senior Bush official” told the Post apparently turned out to be so patently obvious that before the day was out the Post issued a correction, noting Blanco’s declaration on the 26th.

Yet the new issue of Newsweek says this of Blanco, as of September 1st, almost a week later …

Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco seemed uncertain and sluggish, hesitant to declare martial law or a state of emergency, which would have opened the door to more Pentagon help.
Now, all the rights and wrongs of this tragic debacle will turn on weightier facts than the day on which Blanco issued this declaration. But this claim, which appeared in two major national publications, seems to be patently false. In both the Post and Newsweek the anecdote appears as an illustration of Blanco’s dawdling which prevented a more rapid federal response.

The Post got played by a senior administration official. Pretty odd that Newsweek would come up with the same false anecdote on their own, right?

Who’s Newsweek’s source?

Several hours of blogosphere howling ensued. Later in the day, the Post ran this correction, or rather, 180-degree turn:

“A Sept. 4 article on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina incorrectly said that Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco (D) had not declared a state of emergency. She declared an emergency on Aug. 26.”

“I’m so happy that the president came down here,” Nagin said of Bush’s Friday visit to Louisiana in an interview with CNN. “He came down and saw it, and he put a general on the field. His name is General Honore. And when he hit the field, we started to see action.”

But Nagin had harsh words for his state’s leaders, telling CNN: “What the state was doing, I don’t frigging know. But I tell you, I am pissed. It wasn’t adequate.”
The New Orleans Democrat said he urged Bush to meet privately with Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco during the visit. The meeting took place aboard Air Force One, he said.

After reviewing the crisis with Gov. Blanco, Bush summoned Nagin for a private chat – where, according to Nagin, Bush explained: “Mr. Mayor, I offered two options to the governor. I said . . . I was ready to move today. The governor said she needed 24 hours to make a decision.”

Reacting to the governor’s footdragging, Nagin lamented: “It would have been great if we could of left Air Force One, walked outside, and told the world that we had this all worked out.”

“It didn’t happen, and more people died.”
