This is too unreal. Moonbat hell. Gotta get my moonbat websites to start getting all the soundbites for today... a lot of work.

Man! Kuky's performance was presidential... not.

That's why I keep on switching to Fox and can't stick with C-SPAM for more than a few seconds at a time when a RAT is on.

Been concentrating mostly on Fox. The Revrund Ja¢k$son had one in NO that only the locals covered about the time that President Bush was landing in Biloxi. There was the one yesterday with Landrieu, but that was before the party line was fully-formed.

To emphasize the correctness in saying that politics will make big decisions like this, recall this HISTORICAL FACT!

In 1998, the DoD and the US Army Corps of Engineers drafted a document detailing the fact that New Orleans was protected by levees which were designed to protect N.O. from a LEVEL 3 hurricane. These groups wanted to go into N.O. and assess what needed to be done to improve the levees to at least withstand a LEVEL 4 OR 5 hurricane.

This serious request and supporting information was deemed highly necessary to protect N.O. and was presented in full to the President of the United States for approval of this critical project.

THE REQUEST WAS DENIED BY WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON. For those interested in the details, they are available in the FEDERAL REGISTER as a matter of permanent record.

So, how many more deaths do we attribute to this horrid excuse for a criminal, negligent, incompetent excuse for a human being ???

In summary, politics in critical situations, usually costs lives, it always has.

Lisa Stark on ABC is now saying that the federal govt. can act only if the state requests help first, and this is one of the main reasons for the "slow" federal response.

The MSM is getting it, but the dems are stil lost . . .

All right...say it's because troops are in Iraq.

So did Clinton cut funds.

Landrieu's dad never installed the new pumps last time forgot to factor in installation costs.

Still listening for local and state...waiting...waiting.

How about the people not leaving when Bush asked two nights before...no?

I just cannot believe that the Democrats are using this storm for their political benefit.

I'm to the point I don't give a crap about ANY of these ungrateful people.

Not to mention the thugs shooting everything in sight.

Did I see that right on CSPAN; the House passed the relief package?

Pelosi is speaking: We have to ask ourselves...how could things have been different, ...what could have been done to prevent...

That would certainly include Rep. Wexler who is so twisted with hate that he is practically spitting.

How about the local pols not having any plan to get those without cars out? Oh wait; they're all RATs; they can't be expected to take any responsibility <sarcasm_hurl>
