Or from the Simpsons version of Streetcar......

Long before the Superdome, . Where the Saints of football play, . There's a city where the damned call home, . Hear their hellish rondelet: . . New Orleans! . Home of pirates, drunks, and whores... . New Orleans! . Tacky, overpriced souvenir stores... . . If you want to go to hell, you should take a trip . To the Sodom and Gomorrah of the Mississip': . . New Orleans! . Stinking, rotten, vomiting, vile... . New Orleans! . Putrid, brackish, maggotty, foul... . . New Orleans! . Crummy, lousy, rancid and rank... . New Orleans!

That quote doesn't exactly state Blanco wasn't going to order the evacuation, but it's great President Bush made sure she would.

Can I have my CNN play toy back now?

I only have 10 more minutes before I have to go back inside for a nap.

Here are the "authors" of this piece: CNN's David Mattingly, Susan Candiotti, Jacqui Jeras and Rob Marciano contributed to this report.

This is a CNN coverup with help from the dems and the msm who can't bear the thought of having to take responsibility for the democratic non -leadership that went into this disaster by the democratic gov. and NO mayor.

I was watching the Gov.'s press conference last Sunday morning and heard her say that mand. evac. was going into effect at the President's urging in a phone call to her that morning.

I mentioned this to a DU-type co-worker on Tuesday when he blasted me with "Global Warming" being at fault. His response was that the mayor ordered the mandatory evac. on Saturday.

Deny, deny, deny -- lie, lie, lie.

Unbelievable. I've seen this type of thing via Free Republic so many times. It's one of the things that keeps me coming back. To think they used to get away with this kind of thing routinely.

Just think how much of the history of the 20th century was shaped by the media.

They're still trying to pull a fast one on us, but it doesn't work anymore. Taking them a while to realize it too.

They can try REAL hard to cover it up, BUT I SAW IT WITH MY OWN EYES! And I know I'm not the only one! FOX probably has the clip in their archives, but I saw it on Msnbc on Sunday afternoon! W asked folks and the governors to evacuate the people there because this Hurricane was going to turn nasty. HIS WORDS WERE NOT HEED!! UGhhhh and now they are blaming the stupidity of the Mayor and Governor on W! The presstitutes will probably succeed too...:(
