WASHINGTON
Congress' top two Democrats furiously criticized the administration's response to Hurricane Katrina on Wednesday, with Sen. Harry Reid demanding to know whether President Bush's Texas vacation impeded relief efforts and Rep. Nancy Pelosi assailing the chief executive as "oblivious, in denial" about the difficulties.

She related that she urged Bush at the White House on Tuesday to fire Brown.
"He said 'Why would I do that?'" Pelosi said.
"'I said because of all that went wrong, of all that didn't go right last week.' And he said 'What didn't go right?'"
"Oblivious, in denial, dangerous," she added.
No, Pelosi ... what the Feds did went right ... it was your Democrat Governor and Mayor who screwed up and need to be fired by the People. Sadly, their constituency is mostly made up of sheep ... so no correction will happen.
BTW, now is the time to abandon San Fran, and get the refugees out of there, not later when all the roads are busted up, there's no water, and poisonous clouds of asbestos from ruined bath-houses endangers the environment.

Yes, but radical leftists like Nazi Pelosi and Dingy Harry, are VERY dependent on the votes of LIBERAL SHEEP!!!
That's it, you rabid donkeys. Just keep on spewing.
Gallop Poll - 13% blame Bush
After night and day pounding of the blame-Bush mantra - Americans can see the truth - and it's just the kook left who is driving the media .. {sigh}.
Since when does a President get blamed for a hurricane and a flood? The Democrats are still searching and haven't reached the absolute bottom yet.
Pelosi and Dean placing blame without the facts or at least ignoring them. The Dems are digging themselves into a hole...again. Will they ever learn?
The Dems have to protect their own. The best part is that it isn't working.
Hopefully people will remember the lefty screw-ups next year at the polls.
Keep it up, San Fran Nan...nobody likes a whiner.
Reid = (*)
The Dems still don't get it.

. . . now is the time to abandon San Fran . . .

Sadly, I did. My family has been there since the 19th century, but I just couldn't bear to see such a beautiful place ruined. I will fight to the death to keep them from my new home.
Good picture of Nazi Pelosi -- her plastic surgeon told her that if she had one more facelift, she would have a goatee!!!
These douchebags get more disgusting every day. Loathsome, ignorant, loudmouth jackasses. And those are their good qualities.

The Louisiana bayou, hardest working marsh in America, is in big trouble—with dire consequences for residents, the nearby city of New Orleans, and seafood lovers everywhere.
It was a broiling August afternoon in New Orleans, Louisiana, the Big Easy, the City That Care Forgot. Those who ventured outside moved as if they were swimming in tupelo honey. Those inside paid silent homage to the man who invented air-conditioning as they watched TV "storm teams" warn of a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. Nothing surprising there: Hurricanes in August are as much a part of life in this town as hangovers on Ash Wednesday.
But the next day the storm gathered steam and drew a bead on the city. As the whirling maelstrom approached the coast, more than a million people evacuated to higher ground. Some 200,000 remained, however—the car-less, the homeless, the aged and infirm, and those die-hard New Orleanians who look for any excuse to throw a party.
The storm hit Breton Sound with the fury of a nuclear warhead, pushing a deadly storm surge into Lake Pontchartrain. The water crept to the top of the massive berm that holds back the lake and then spilled over. Nearly 80 percent of New Orleans lies below sea level—more than eight feet below in places—so the water poured in. A liquid brown wall washed over the brick ranch homes of Gentilly, over the clapboard houses of the Ninth Ward, over the white-columned porches of the Garden District, until it raced through the bars and strip joints on Bourbon Street like the pale rider of the Apocalypse. As it reached 25 feet (eight meters) over parts of the city, people climbed onto roofs to escape it.
Thousands drowned in the murky brew that was soon contaminated by sewage and industrial waste. Thousands more who survived the flood later perished from dehydration and disease as they waited to be rescued. It took two months to pump the city dry, and by then the Big Easy was buried under a blanket of putrid sediment, a million people were homeless, and 50,000 were dead. It was the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States.
When did this calamity happen? It hasn't—yet. But the doomsday scenario is not far-fetched. The Federal Emergency Management Agency lists a hurricane strike on New Orleans as one of the most dire threats to the nation, up there with a large earthquake in California or a terrorist attack on New York City. Even the Red Cross no longer opens hurricane shelters in the city, claiming the risk to its workers is too great.
The corrupt democrat machine in La. all knew what could happen and failed to protect their citizens..
They should all be going to jail for murder and maleficence in office
