Hey, why despite all the Post 9-11 Disaster planning did the City of NO not have any prepositioned stocks of food and water at their designated shelters? Seems to have totally escaped the Dinosaur Media that all this "Suffering" they are throwing hysteric over could of been significantly mitigated by simple following the City of NO emergency plan as posted on their OWN city website. But that's right. The mayor has the "Correct" party label so the Dinosaurs will just over look the failure of the Mayor to perform even the barest minimum of his duty.

Intuitive" is not enough to provide the intimate minute-to-minute, parish-by-parish organization, tracking, and command-and-control necessary to move say one-half million people out of their homes, and provide them with food, water, sanitation, shelter, and protection from thugs

Go to the City of New Orleans website and read their Disaster Plan. The plan was fine, the execution of the plan a complete failure. They did, what I expect too many American "leaders" would do. They dithered hoping to dodge the bullet like they did so many times before. What is NOT forgivable is this hysteric posturing and finger pointing. The leadership of the City of NO BLEW it. They should have the intellectual honesty to get out of the way instead of mugging for the cameras seeking to shift blame

cannot be counted on to leave their homes after an evacuation order

Once again the liberals are not just insinuating, but stating AS FACT that blacks and/or the underclass just cannot be trust to take care of themselves.

What the Post editorial offers instead is breathtaking ignorance.

Stupidity isn't a crime, so they're free to go...

Maybe the President should airlift ALL of these evacuees to Republican States so we can actually do something for them and then tell Blanco *good luck! see-ya!*

The La. Board charged with levee maintenance spent the money on part ownership of a casino and a new plane to fly board members and their families on vacations. (Rumored)

The next Survivors show should be immediately set up in NO,LA and filming should begin now. The MSM has shown people going through more obstacles than the original Survivor show could ever imagine.
Survivor, Escape from New Orleans, LA. That's the ticket.
