Ok, now we have an explanation about the Louisiana fiasco with respect to keeping the Red Cross out of New Orleans, and how Louisiana conned the Red Cross into making this joint statement, I have no idea...

Red Cross and Louisiana state officials say that the state asked the Red Cross to delay bringing relief supplies into New Orleans, and that by Saturday, September 3, the mass evacuation of the city's shelters made that effort unnecessary.

The RC explaination would be a lot more meaningful if it had come 10 days earlier.

It's a pretty hollow statement, given the time lag.

Hey Chair, do you have as much trouble getting your people to work on a sunny day as for example the Landrieu woman says they "have enough trouble getting their people to work on a sunny day"? I wonder whether she meant they have enough trouble GETTING their people to work on a sunny day, or whether she meant they have enough trouble getting their people to WORK on a sunny day? Hmmmmmmmm....

HUH?

Bottom line.......the state ASKED THE RED CROSS TO DELAY BRINGING RELIEF SUPPLIES............all the while they were screaming for relief supplies.

What am I missing?
