Well that must apply to Brownie, Jherkoff, and Skippy the simple-minded Himself.

But don't worry. Skippy is going to lead an investigation on himself.

[ of course he's already told Cheney that when he interviews himself, he needs uncle Dick to be there with him ]

No, I was just singing the Megadeth number. Carry on!

I just can't seem to understand why local mistakes somehow equate to FEDERAL FUCK UPS getting a "get out of jail free" card.

They're not mutually exclusive.

Blame Game my ass..

He's an incompetant, mostly honest Democrat. I definately feel sorry for him, compared to Blanco. She's a tool if I ever saw one.

Your right that did. Thank you

Your right they are not mutually exclusive. However, I don't know why you continue to try to pick a fight on a point most people (Myself included) actually agree with you on. I've said it many times already, as have others, that there is blame all around, but you keep insisiting we are trying to let me them off the hook.

Sometimes you libs really confuse me. You keep fighting AFTER we agree...

One problem is the other local polito-crooks hate Nagin because he has been fighting corruption within the Government here...

FEMA also played a part in that! They were supposed to coordinate the resources with NAGIN's office, he deserves some of the blame for that, but certainly not all.

but the good leaders break through this shit and get things done. In a huge multi-state dissaster like Katrina, a good president makes it the number one priority. The president can break the beurocracy better than some mid manager. It's the president's job to assess the situation so is it the govenor's. I mean the city of New Orleans was in caos pretty damn quick, the govener traditionally sends in the National Guard. In extreme cases, the president can send the military in. Bush could have had the military make some emergency drops at the Superdome, hell, he could have dropped troops in to keep law and order. This was not done.

Yet Canada managed to have Urban Search & Rescue teams ON THE GROUND (Gulfport) before FEMA even got there. There's NO FUCKING EXCUSE!

I'm also starting to believe as he suggested, that class and race play into the response from the state and federal government...

We've been saying that from day one. I think that's why we sent help so fast....

Whatever...

I'm talking Canada, not celebrities. We were there before them, too.

Why were people promised resources and they didn’t show up? Where were the military resources? Where was the National Guard? Why were we left with a city on the verge of collapse, fighting for the soul of the city, with 200 National Guardsmen and 1,200 police?

There's going to be a war, my friend.

Right here, I say war right here in River City.

Townspeople: Oh, we got war

Harold: Right here in River City

Townspeople: Right here in River City

Harold: With a capital 'W' and that rhymes with 'GW'
and that stands f4or 'global war'

We're (the U.S.) just o1ne California earthquake or o1ne more hurricane away from it all collapsing. And when America goes into 'war' so goes the world.

They've taken the gloves off, folks.

Actually, there is.

You haven't been through a hurricane, have you?

Of course not. You make hurricanes sound quite easy from behind your computer screen as you're eating that gallon of ice cream and going on your second box of cookies.

The devastation this one left is about the size of Great Britain.

Roads and waterways are inaccessible....bridges are out, airports and helo pads must be cleared.

It's not a silly little game of "who get's there first."

It took me over half a day to go 8 miles in Charleston after Hugo.

If the Canadians could find a way in to these people, great.

But it's probably because everyone else is just stretched thin.

Well eating ice-cream with one thumb up his ass was what FEMA Director/political hack appointee "BROWNIE" was doing, but it still took over four days for any significant Federal presence to get into the city. What's the excuse again?
