Video: "Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff said it all, starting his news briefing Saturday afternoon: "Louisiana is a city that is largely underwater..."

Well there's your problem right there.

If ever a slip-of-the-tongue defined a government's response to a crisis, this was it..."

It was predictable Olbermann, not one word of the state or local failures, he likes the government to babysit everyone.

All the politicians and newspersons are tired.

Olberman was really, really, really reaching, by bringing up this slip of the tongue.

What a petty-minded jerk.

When he makes his next slip-of-the-tongue he'll probably find it's "payback" time.

5% blame for Nagin/Blanco, 95% blame for Bush. Same BS we've been hearing from the MSM all week.

Keith is bitter since realizing that his career never has, and never will, live up to the hype.

The Southern Louisiana Evacuation Plan specifically stated that people without private transportation were to be transported on public buses. Here is the original post of the plan

There were not just "200 buses". There were 200 buses in just one photo and Freepers studying the post-Katrina satellite images have counted over 400 buses altogether at other city parking.

At 70 people per bus that is 28,000 people per round trip that could have been taken out of the storm surge area in the 48 hours prior the Katrina striking.

After the storm hit, what makes you think that buses sent from outside of New Orleans could drive through the flooded mess any better than the 145 New Orleans city buses that were parked 1.2 miles away from the Superdome?

Was Scotty supposed to beam the outside buses to the Superdome and them beam them back out so that they would not have to drive through impassable roads?

The time to evacuate those 200,000 low-income people on public buses OUT OF THE STORM SURGE ZONE was BEFORE the Category 4 storm struck.

That was what the Southern Louisiana Evacuation Plan for New Orleans specifically called for.

The Democrat Governor and the Democrat Mayor did NOTHING to carry out that portion of the plan. They left 200,000 low-income resident abandoned and they now blame the Federal Government for not having Scotty beam down a massive logistics effort after a human disaster of their own making.

Well, I sure hope you aren't concerned. Olbermann buys every moonbat myth that comes down the pike.

Olbermann has been doing a lot of extra-nutty stuff (according to the threads here, anyway) as of late. No doubt he's trying to boost ratings.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say he is heading the way of Phil Donahue. They even have Rita Cosby from Fox to take his place. This is what I am figuring on, anyway.

This guy is a raving lunatic trying to get his gig out of the celler in the ratings. Since nobody is watching, it really doesn't matter much what he says.

I was flipping through the channels

His entire audience consists of people flipping through the channels and stopping on him for about 10 seconds, then moving on to something less inane.
