I almost tossed my cookies when I heard that remark. He is not even a Conservative Democrat.
I believe there were about 2000 school and municipal buses underwater after the storm.
You are correct, nobody but approved union drivers can drive an automatic bus out of New Orleans. -sarcasm
That is why they have emergency plans. They are supposed to have a plan to get the drivers, etc. They simply ignored it.
He and General Weasely Clark already have, if you noticed?
NAGIN CRYING: Please, stop with all of the press conferences, can we have a damn moratorium on them...
That would have been decided between the Mayor and the Governor, had both not been asleep at the switch.
IF true, the area towns were fighting for their own lives. They had no place to put these thousands of people. WTH is he talking about? Never mind.
Well, except that thirteen year old kid who somehow managed to drive one all the way to Houston.
Wouldn't you have destinations in your evacuation plan? Where would you drive the buses to? or just north? Maybe NO isn't corrupt just really really stupid.
OMG!! Allen Colmes is getting all over someone who is defending the looters. Nah, I can't be hearing right.
yes, I know... But, the "adjective usage" over/under number tonight was at 84...
I figure the over was a lock, any idea on the actual # ?
I'VE GOTTA KNOW!!!!!
He was in Baton Rouge
Drivers?
Did you not hear of the guy who took a school bus after the storm and picked up 70 people and got to Asterdome before the leased govt greyhounds. By the way, he had never driven a bus before.
There was time before Katrina to use ALL buses to mandatory evacuate several hundred miles west of storm and stay in the MANY REST AREAS ON INTERSTATES THAT HAVE HUGE PUBLIC BATHROOMS ACROSS THIS NATION. The US
Weather Bureau had a predictable path for Katrina within a hundred miles, that small shift to left was a possibility.
Don't let that moron off the hook, they showed pics of the thousands of buses in schoolyards and the several hundred public transit buses on tv.
Bull-Shite. Names and phone records, please....
Anyone over ten years of age?
Anywhere above sea level?
Hell, a sixteen year old who had never driven a bus before drove one filled with people all the way to Houston.
I agree...
The State and Local Governments were incompetent during and following the tragedy. The Democrat Party is still trying to make political hay, even during the tragedy. They even have Hollywood Actors repeating the same talking points.
The Democrat Party has still only one unique plan, attack their political opponents. They never want to lose the black vote!
Maybe they could find a few more Jabbar whatisname. He weren't afraid to grab the bull by the horns.

I heard that. I'm just glad I wasn't drinking coffee at the time. Would have cost me a new keyboard.
