I hope the folks of LA recall her. She clearly lacked(s) the skills necessary, especially when dealing with a crisis.

Who was that whiny "Bush's fault" slob on Meet the Press Sunday morning?

He was the President of something.

"Leadership" like that is a natural disaster unto itself.

NAGIN: The president looked at me. I think he was a little surprised. He said, "No, you guys stay here. We're going to another section of the plane, and we're going to make a decision."

He called me in that office after that. And he said, "Mr. Mayor, I offered two options to the governor." I said -- and I don't remember exactly what. There were two options. I was ready to move today. The governor said she needed 24 hours to make a decision.

S. O'BRIEN: You're telling me the president told you the governor said she needed 24 hours to make a decision?

NAGIN: Yes.

S. O'BRIEN: Regarding what? Bringing troops in?

NAGIN: Whatever they had discussed. As far as what the -- I was abdicating a clear chain of command, so that we could get resources flowing in the right places.

S. O'BRIEN: And the governor said no.

NAGIN: She said that she needed 24 hours to make a decision. It would have been great if we could of left Air Force One, walked outside, and told the world that we had this all worked out. It didn't happen, and more people died.

Prez of a parrish, like counties in other states. Maybe Jefferson parrish which is right outside of NO. He did look and sound like an idiot.

She was terrible on Fox News this morning, it was impossible to try to discern any message from her other than she's overwhelemed and nothing is her fault.

Broussard

He was on Fox and Friends this morning and while he wasn't blaming Bush personally he was repeating what is obviously the Louisiana authorities talking points of "we're not trying to point fingers there's enough blame to go around".

This woman is giving all us women a bad name. There is no crying in crisis management!

Maybe people will relate this woman's reactions to another woman, Hillary. How would a woman react as a President. I don't believe this but, many might think that most women might fall apart like Blanco.

Broussard let people come back to his parrish yesterday. A family of five died because of carbon monoxide poisoning when they went back.

Broussard should not have let people back until it was safe. After his act on MTP the MSM would never point this out.

Did you see her on GMA today? Diane Sawyer was more informed than she was. How scary is that.
