Gustav overtopping Industrial Canal barrier in New Orleans.
By on Sep 1st, 2008 at 11:07 am
Gustav overtopping Industrial Canal barrier in New Orleans.
MSNBC is reporting that waters from Hurricane Gustav, now a Category 2 storm, have overtopped the Industrial Canal barrier in New Orleans, and FEMA Deputy Director Harvey E. Johnson has warned that New Orleans will be “at least partially flood[ed].” Officials have evacuated 2 million people from Louisiana, but an estimated 10,000 remain in New Orleans. Hurricane-force winds also “slammed into oil terminals around Port Fourchon,” which is southwest of New Orleans and where “56 percent of the imported and Gulf of Mexico oil entering the United States passes.”
Update CNN is reporting that Gustav has made landfall near Cocodrie, LA, southwest of New Orleans.

Let’s just hope this doesn’t get nearly as bad as Katrina was…
September 1st, 2008 at 11:16 amHi John Kerry:
September 1st, 2008 at 11:19 amHow about a nice iced tea and a little session or must you run off so quickly as usual. Damn you are a busy fellow.
Now they have to worry about Hurricane McCain blowing through.
September 1st, 2008 at 11:23 amNo calm in his eye, just a promise of more of the same.
Hurricane-force winds also “slammed into oil terminals around Port Fourchon,” which is southwest of New Orleans and where “56 percent of the imported and Gulf of Mexico oil entering the United States passes
The gas stations around town are raising their prices as we speak. arrrgh
September 1st, 2008 at 11:24 amI think it’s a shame that the Republicans are trying to use a natural disaster for political gain. Unfortunately, with the Bush administration in power the political party of the leaders *is* important, but it shouldn’t be like this. The federal aid which is provided to those who suffer a natural disaster should not be dependent on the results of the last election.
The senator from Arizona has no role to play in the response to this natural disaster. He is using the hurricane as a political backdrop, but I hope Americans can see through his stunts. The federal response to Hurricane Katrina was a national humiliation. If FEMA responds well to Hurricane Gustav it will merely be the restoration of the agency to its pre-Bush competence.
September 1st, 2008 at 11:27 amJohn Kerry Says:
Mc Cain etc showed that REAL LEADERSHIP is the answer!!
______________
Hmmm… McStain hasn’t done anything. He’s only a candidate and has no authority in this situation.
JK seems to have forgotten Bush is still in office…
You really need to lay off the Sterno, John, before the organic damage is irreversible.
September 1st, 2008 at 11:28 amKerry-
September 1st, 2008 at 11:33 amA Rep WAS in charge of the presidency but he was too busy pretending to play a guitar and posing with a cake with John McCain (R- AZ) to get involved. He had his Rep friend’s Rep friend Brownie doin’ a heckuva job trying to be a fashion god while the city drowned.
John Kerry Says:
Hi troll coward. Sure glad you weren’t in a battle situation with me and I had to depend on you for my life.
September 1st, 2008 at 11:34 amEveryone knows they will behave correctly this year. It’s an election year. Not so much when katrina hit…..connect the dots troll kerry.
September 1st, 2008 at 11:37 amTo a certain extent the troll is right, had there been a republican gov Bush might have actually given a sh!t and done something useful instead of letting New Orleans drown.
September 1st, 2008 at 11:40 amYep, they have led us into war with no end, economic disaster, health care crises, de-regulated companies that are vital to the survival of our country, destroying our superpower status around the world, etc. aren’t we proud?
September 1st, 2008 at 11:41 amTo the ignorant troll going by the name of John Kerry. You are one stupid f**k! The difference between Katrina and Gustav is that Gustav is happening during an election year.
Oh and I am sure the people of New Orleans are put at ease knowing that George W. Bush and John McBush are closely monitoring the situation this time instead of sharing birthday cake together.
September 1st, 2008 at 11:42 amI think you are idealistic but I respect that. I think it was thought out and decided intentionally….they had an agenda and it has worked out nicely for them.
What’s 1600 black Americans lives in comparison to taking over this city and turning it white?
September 1st, 2008 at 11:44 amJohn Kerry:
Yes, Katrina was all the Democrats fault???
Fetal alcohol syndrome and meth addiction, what a bad combination. JK, you can do something about the meth addiction, the fetal alcohol syndrome, well that’s on your mother.
September 1st, 2008 at 11:45 amJohn Kerry Says:
September 1st, 2008 at 11:47 amDespite Michael Moore and the libs trying to make Gustav into a political victory for them, Mc Cain etc showed that REAL LEADERSHIP is the answer!!
““““““““““““““““““““““““““`
Yet another ignorant comment by the clueless troll! It seems to me it’s been John McBush who has been using hurricane Gustav as a possible republican victory as it’s been him shown all over the TV channels briefing America that he and his running mate Peggy Hill will be in the Gulf area. Hmmm it sounds to me like McBush is looking for a photo op session to use for his faltering campaign!

September 1st, 2008 at 11:59 amMcCain campaign manager Rick Davis attacked Obama for criticizing McCain and Palin. “So he attacks us while there’s a hurricane going on and John McCain suspends his convention basically,” Davis said in an interview with the Politico. “What bigger contrast can you have about putting your country first?”
Mctakeadvantage didn’t suspend his convention. He simply moved it to the Gulf Coast.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:02 pmAnd as far as putting country first; how so? His selection of a VP, the person a heartbeat away from the presidency, who’s claim to foreign policy experience is governing a state that’s close to Russia, is simply pandering for votes and definitely putting country last.
The biggest difference between Katrina and Gustav is Katrina. If everyone hadn’t seen the utter devastation wreaked by Katrina, most people wouldn’t believe how bad it could get, and many would refuse to evacuate. As it is, something like 2 million people have been evacuated from the area and only 10,000 diehards remain.
The population believes in hurricanes now, the government organized buses better this time because they’ve learned better, and people are allowed to take their pets with them on buses and into shelters. Something on the order of half the people who stayed through Katrina said it was because they wouldn’t abandon their pets.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:05 pmJohn Kerry says, something really ignorant as is his wont. I am sure it seems that way JK to ALL the incredibly ignorant brainwashed hiveminders like you. The last time you had an original thought was when it told you to turn on the AM Radio
September 1st, 2008 at 12:05 pmWhen will troll Kerry STOP HATING AMERICA?
September 1st, 2008 at 12:07 pmJohn Kerry is long gone. John is sort of afraid to actually engage in a discussion. You might call him a pussy that way. Anyway…
September 1st, 2008 at 12:08 pmWhile there are still significant threats on the Gustav horizon, I am relieved that it has weakened to Cat 3 and may spare the Gulf Coast. A couple of observations:
1. it is really unfortunate that the federal response and the security and support this time is somehow being hailed as remarkable when it just simply is what should be expected from a competent and effective government
2. once the threat fully subsides within the next 24 hours, let us all hope that the republicans can return to their convention and get their message out to America; I think it’s important for them to communicate what they have to offer — zip, zilch, nada
September 1st, 2008 at 12:09 pm“John Kerry” is a pansy 4 eternity.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:10 pmJohn McCin puts America first!?! Bah ha ha ha ha!
He puts Iraq first over his own country:
1-We spend billions of dolars to rebuild Iraq’s infrastructure
leaving our country near bankrupt so that we are unable to rebuild our own dteriorating infrastructure.
2-He puts the security of Iraq first over the security of his own country by wanting to leave our military stretched dangerously thin in Iraq for 10, 20, 50, 100 years.
3-Continues to support Bush’s failed war in Iraq which has created more enemies for our country.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:11 pmNothing new here. The republicans politicized 9/11, they politicize the war and now they are politicizing a hurricane.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:14 pmBob Geiger details the failings of McCain during Katrina:
[snip]
Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Joe Biden jumped immediately to the aid of hurricane victims in the week after the 2005 disaster, authoring S.Amdt. 1661 “…to provide emergency funding for victims of Hurricane Katrina.”
Biden’s legislation would have provided many things including money to purchase
interoperable communications equipment to help first-responders dealing with the disaster, $10 million “to find, unite, and transport children impacted by Hurricane Katrina to their parents, legal guardian, or next of kin” and funding to assist victims of domestic violence in affected areas.
“The devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina has revealed the best and the worst about our great Nation. It has revealed a great economic divide that exists among our citizens, while it demonstrated as well the capacity of the majority of our citizens to be compassionate and even heroic during times of great need,” said Biden in arguing for his bill. “It also exposed the demons of some who will use any opportunity to prey on the weak.”
“The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has reported that over 1,000 children have been displaced by this storm — that means they are not with their parents or guardians — and in this amendment we provide $10 million for that effort,” Biden continued. “We also provide $9 million to support domestic violence victims impacted by the storms. We all heard of the reports of sexual assaults in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and we will support those victims who have not been moved to new shelters.”
But with John McCain’s help, the Republican-led Senate shot down the funding on a 41-56 vote with McCain voting against, while Biden and Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama voted for the funding.
When Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) proposed the creation of a Congressional Commission to “examine the Federal, State, and local response to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina.. and make immediate corrective measures to improve such responses in the future,” John McCain was once again exactly where George W. Bush wanted him to be: On the “nay” side of a straight party-line vote (44-54 ) that killed that legislation.
And lest you think it was McCain taking a stand against what might become a Democratic witch hunt on the failures of his bosses in the White House, the bill called for a wholly bipartisan panel, stating specifically of the 10-member group that “not more than 5 members of the Commission shall be from the same political party.”
Unlike McCain, Barack Obama was one of the cosponsors of that bill and both he and Biden voted for immediate oversight on the bungled Katrina response.
But that’s not all…

September 1st, 2008 at 12:23 pmThe most heinous troll JK who steals the name of the honorable Viet Nam War hero better add something to his diet of lead paint chips, he’s down to the last few brain cells he was born with.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:25 pmMcCain on Katrina
Forty Senators and 100 members of Congress visited New Orleans before he did; he finally got there in March 2006.
He voted against establishing a Congressional commission to examine the Federal, State, and local responses to Katrina in med-September 2005.
He voted against allowing up to 52 weeks of unemployment benefits to people affected by the hurricane.
Voted against appropriating $109 billion in supplemental emergency funding, including $28 billion for hurricane relief.
Oh, he shows leadership, alright.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:26 pmThe flood waters are overtopping the constitutional barriers of our democracy as well !!! Pray we weather this storm as a nation !
September 1st, 2008 at 12:30 pmPretty sad, huh? The coordination in reponse to the threat of a major hurricane to Republicans is about learning from their political mistakes, having their sights set on regaining political capital lost three years ago.
I’ve never seen government leaders with shorter learning curves.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:31 pmFred,
Perhaps I am an idealist. I don’t think the color of the skin of residents had anything to do with Bush’s apathy towards New Orleans in 2005, I think it had more to do with the amount of money in their wallets.
I don’t think Bush is a racist, but he does hate poor people.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:31 pmbarfly Says:
that’s amazing and should be out front everywhere. Thanks for posting it.
Mccain hates America.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:33 pmKrazny Says:
I didn’t see a lot of white people at the stadium….
September 1st, 2008 at 12:35 pmI’m watching C-span, and Bush is at the control center, taking pictures, and shaking hands – just what we need in an emergency. The guy hasn’t learned a thing since Katrina.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:35 pmI have to agree pretty much with Karzny. With the addition that they were happy to see old people done in early. Bushco certainly had no problem watching old white poor people die a horrible death that would make most of us ill to see happen to a dog.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:35 pmJust waiting to see how much McStain politicizes this. He and his corporate robber baron media friends will spin it so he looks presidential. Of course, while he changes his Depends.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:36 pmIf John McCain is “putting his country first” as Rick Davis says, then why select Palin, who is clueless in foreign policy. But then again, he did say she is his partner and soulmate. He actually said that. Dirty old man.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:36 pmJohn Kerry Says: Mc Cain etc showed that REAL LEADERSHIP is the answer!!
Have you seen the YouTube clip of him staring at Sarah Palin’s rear end for most of her introduction speech?
By the way, Palin’s 17 year old daughter is pregnant. Can’t wait to see you crazies try to spin this one…
September 1st, 2008 at 12:37 pmThanks barfly, I can see why they didn’t want the MSM hanging around outside the convention center. Lots and lots of demostraters and not so many supporters.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:39 pmfreeman, I do apologize for labeling you a troll a number of threads back. It isn’t a good idea for one to jump on their own when they have a few diverging concerns.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:39 pmCan we ignore JK? It’s already on record that he eats boogers, and has cooties, and it’s all sounding too grade-school for me.
Please?

But, he probably comes back later and laughs his ass off over the number of people who responded to his hit and run. Oops…I just gave him another point.
Let’s just ignore his hit-and-run troll posts. There’s never anything in them except for wild talking points.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:40 pmDe nada, Shayne.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:41 pmFailin’ Palin’s daughter, Bristol, isn’t pregnant. That’s the baby fat she has left over after giving birth to Trig in April. It is laughable that anyone could even seriously suggest for a moment that this child is Sarah Palin’s.
But, of course, republicans think we’re all stupid and will swallow her outlandish and obviously contrived cover-up.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:43 pmBilbo Hussein Baggins Says: Let’s just ignore his hit-and-run troll posts. There’s never anything in them except for wild talking points.
To play Devil’s Advocate – if we want Obama to stand up to McCain’s lies, then should we stand up to all Conservative lies?
I do think that the years that we’ve been debunking the right-wing trash talk is one of the reasons that Obama is going to be our next President.
Keeping silent hurt Al Gore and the real John Kerry.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:46 pmHi unbelievable, it’s double the fun for McCain. He can make the easy impression of having social justice in mind by pledging to bring lots of women to work around him, while expanding his harrassment/cheating turf.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:48 pmtom Says: Failin’ Palin’s daughter, Bristol, isn’t pregnant.
You can have a baby in April and get pregnant again in August.
CNN Headline news just reported it.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:48 pmHey all, sorry to post OT, but I found a very interesting, and very scary, article about Palin and her being part of the Dominionists.
Now, I’ve never heard that phrase before, but in reading the article, this sounds like the rightest of the right, the wingnuttiest of the wingnuts of the Christofascists.
It seems that several folks, knowing that Palin hadn’t been actually vetted, decided to apply the same vetting standards the media has taken with Barack, and they did some “pastor vetting” of their own.
I don’t normally link to Kos, but it’s worth a read:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/8/29/163234/559/495/579213
Also, there seems to be evidence that Palin is associated with the “Alaska Independence” party, which advocates for succession and total ownership of Alaskan resources.
Scary chick. Just sayin’…
PEACE

Hi McWars!
And the so-called moral majority had a problem with Bill Clinton? But why are they so silent on McCain’s degradation of women?
Yesterday, I watched part of a focus group on C-SPAN of undecided voters. After they were shown part of that speech, their opinion of Palin went down. At the end of the group, which was run by nutzoid Frank Luntz, 8 favored McCain and 16 favored Obama.
September 1st, 2008 at 12:55 pmJohn Kerry says at #2:
>>>>Want to know the difference between Katrina 2008 and 2005?? SIMPLE! A Rep Governor of LA making School Bus Nagin actually DO something!!! If Rep would have been in charge locally in 2005 the devastation wouldn’t have been as bad at all!! Despite Michael Moore and the libs trying to make Gustav into a political victory for them, Mc Cain etc showed that REAL LEADERSHIP is the answer!!
COMMENT: Think it might have had just a little something to do with the dreaded Federal Government and FEMA being a bit more on the ball this time.
In any event, Katrina turned Louisiana into an indisputably Rep state. So what are you squawking about?
September 1st, 2008 at 12:55 pmHey no worries Mac ,
September 1st, 2008 at 12:56 pmwe each need ALL the friends we can have and I do understand why you were unhappy with me . I will stump for Obama in this election and he has my vote unless it’s going to be a DEFINITE landslide then I will do what I can for a third party candidate !
After an Obama win in Nov. I will go back to demanding the democrats defend our inalienable rights as I know you will as well !

So much for ‘country first’…
September 1st, 2008 at 12:57 pmUpdate… that ain’t ALL they’re reporting…
who’s baby IS it??? or rather WHEN will the baby be here?
September 1st, 2008 at 12:58 pmWHAT baby? oh! it’s so confusing, those family values!
I bet this would have been swept under the carpet were it not for the rumors about her infant. I expect the baby will be premature:
September 1st, 2008 at 12:59 pm
Bristol sounds like some sort of weird elitist name. I don’t suppose the child went to one of those oddball Montesorri schools and god forbid eats arugala or anything like that…
September 1st, 2008 at 12:59 pmunbelievable Says:
So much for ‘country first’…
Indeed. I read somewhere yesterday that McCain is sending his team up to Alaska now to do some vetting, which I find hilarious!
Seriously, what are they gonna do with what they find? Hide it? Not bloody likely! Take Palin off the ticket? Way to alienate the wingers for years to come…
I hope there are millions of Americans paying attention to J. Sydney’s judgement.
PEACE
September 1st, 2008 at 1:02 pmThat is if there is an election in November .
September 1st, 2008 at 1:02 pmYou are so right, we can’t just relax when we win this year as we have in the past. The election is just the first battle in this war to recover our country.
September 1st, 2008 at 1:03 pmHey dbadas ,arugula puts a rocket in your pocket .
September 1st, 2008 at 1:04 pmAll this talk of Palin’s possibly being a grandmother as well as a mother, could be laid to rest with a simple DNA test. So, until Palin agrees to be tested, these rumors will continue, since there is no other way to disprove them.
September 1st, 2008 at 1:05 pmBristol, Connecticut is where ESPN is headquartered. Her goal was to be a sportscaster on ESPN, I think that’s where she got the name. Which is weird and sort of creepy when you think about it.
September 1st, 2008 at 1:05 pmAmen Fred , I’ll try not to beat up on the democrats too bad for the moment but the day after this election(?) the gloves come off !
September 1st, 2008 at 1:05 pmI still think Pat Buchanan’s articles “Blowback from bear bating” and “McCain’s neocon war monger and none dare call it treason” are a godsend andshould be handed to every republican voter .
September 1st, 2008 at 1:08 pmI suppose if we called it rocket more, the hard-on guys would be so much more accepting of it…
September 1st, 2008 at 1:10 pmJK, you ignorant troll, you would be lambasting Obama if he went down there to help…You would be complaining that he got in the way and was interfering with the rescue efforts for political reasons.
September 1st, 2008 at 1:10 pmIt reached landfall as a Category 2, which obviously will be less destructive than a five, but it will undoubtably be touted as ‘lessons learned’ and ‘Oh, look how effective we can be given a second chance.’
Effective leadership is getting it right the first time with the ability to correct for the unexpected, but without the unexpected being an excuse for not overcoming. Pretty much every major disaster during this prez is justified by saying that it was a surprize that could not be accounted for. Just like the issue of responsibility for 9/11, taken by itself is one thing, but there is a whole string of things like that, including the response to Katrina and other natural disasters.
September 1st, 2008 at 1:11 pmspencers mom Says: I hope there are millions of Americans paying attention to J. Sydney’s judgement.
I guess when you think some divine guide is watching out for you, you don’t have to bother to do such things as vet VP candidates, or tell the truth. I hope he continues to think along these lines.
McCain has dug himself one very deep hole, and shows no signs of slowing down on the digging efforts. I say we all sit back and see how long it take him to hit rock bottom… :)
September 1st, 2008 at 1:11 pmNo man that’ll never fly, these guys are well beyond herbal supplements.
September 1st, 2008 at 1:12 pmThere’s nothing to do in Alaska but drilling, apparently.
September 1st, 2008 at 1:13 pmUnless perhaps they’ve acquired a medical marijuana card .

I’m irritated to the point of numbness with the MSM. Obama showed class in assuming there are large numbers of voters still on the fence, voters waiting until October to make up their minds (watched the segment on 60 minutes). Obama is doing the right thing by putting in a hard day’s work non-stop, no contest there. I’m not saying he should relax, but the MSM isn’t doing enough to recognize his voter base as being a lot more about the national issues and a lot less about “experience.” Voters during the primaries were routinely rejecting former governers — Romney, Richardson, Huckabee, others.
At least we have hidden-gem coverage like C-SPAN, which gives us more proof that we are RIGHT about the misleading polls!
September 1st, 2008 at 1:14 pmWell, here’s BushCo’s and Palin’s “abstinence only” education in practice, right before our eyes!
So let me understand this. Bristol, who had to miss 4 – 8 months (depending where you read) of school because of contagious mono, got pregnant last spring and therefore couldn’t be the mother of Trig?
Poor kid, I see a very convenient miscarriage in her near future. Or a very late delivery next spring!
Try again, spinmiesters!
PEACE
September 1st, 2008 at 1:15 pmBristol? Trig? These names have got to be the result of lax marijuana laws…
September 1st, 2008 at 1:16 pmMcWars Says: At least we have hidden-gem coverage like C-SPAN, which gives us more proof that we are RIGHT about the misleading polls!
Excellent points.
I watched the entire convention on CSPAN and PBS. It was nice to be an adult who decided who I wanted to hear and then could decide what I thought about what I’d just head without some conservative talking head telling me what to hear and what to think about it.
September 1st, 2008 at 1:22 pmHere’s an interesting question:
If it wasn’t for the weekend of online rumors about the “baby mama” quesion, when exactly were the Family Values ticket going to announce the upcoming blessed event?
This new info is not going to stop those investigating just who gave birth in April!
BUT, this is the excuse that will be used when Palin is removed from the ticket by the weekend. She needs to “spend more time with her family.”
PEACE
September 1st, 2008 at 1:22 pmEven if this is true, there’s still the issue of what kind of judgement does it display when, after your water breaks with your FIFTH child, instead of having the baby delivered in a safe environment, you spend eight hours on a flight, then instead of going to a hospital in Anchorage, you spend additional time going to Bumfuk, AK to have the delivery, by a doctor who’s no longer on staff, or perhaps on the planet.
September 1st, 2008 at 1:25 pmI couldn’t agree more, freeman. We’re stronger with criticism from our own, which is labeled by the neonuts as “party division.” If people can’t clearly view our party as one willing to improve its delivery, they will feel comfortable going back-and-forth to republicans because they would see nothing to lose. Once we’ve finished our work to get Obama elected we must be welcoming, at the same time critical.

Example “a,” for why responding to trolls like JK is a waste of keystrokes. JK’s been yanked from the thread, and all the responses to him just look silly, hanging there by themselves.
September 1st, 2008 at 1:27 pmWhy is her daughter having sex whilst ill with Mononucleosis for eight months>?
September 1st, 2008 at 1:27 pmWhat kind of family values are those?
Perhaps Alaska Department of Child Protective Services should be investigating the parental completence in this case.
September 1st, 2008 at 1:28 pmWhy isn’t McIIIrd having the convention from an oil drilling platform in the Gulf?

They’ll have to act fast, her acceptance speech is this Wednesday…
September 1st, 2008 at 1:29 pmChao mensch , tscheuss amigos , yo voy .
September 1st, 2008 at 1:33 pmBuh bye to any of McCain’s hopes for securing the “family values” base.
Cue the trolls to come tell us how scared we are for digging up the facts.
September 1st, 2008 at 1:38 pmPalin’s children’s names are: Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper, and Trig. What will Bristol name her child – Field? Nascar?, Aspen? Drummer? Math?
September 1st, 2008 at 1:54 pmNobody names their kids shit like this unless they are free thinking pot smoking anarcists. One must continue to wonder about the vetting process employed here. She has a kid named “Willow” for godssake!
September 1st, 2008 at 2:10 pm
