It has become a symbol of everything that went wrong in New Orleans..
It is now nothing but a big, bad, memory that nobody wants to be reminded of..
She sure has a problem with making a decsion and sticking to it.
As soon as she sees how many BILLIONS in pork she will have to build a new one.
Blanco couldn't decide her way out of a paper bag.
Abu Gharib syndrome.
You know it's there but you ain't bending down to find it !
Her indecisiveness was deadly.
New Orleans = money pit for all US taxpayers
Correction: Blanco to hold off on asking for Federal $Billions to build new White Elephant Sports Palace until the bodies are buried...
Once we start talking about tearing down the Superdome in order to build the Super-Duper-Dome, you will know that the situation has returned to normal and the Donks are back to raiding the Treasury for stupid pet projects 24/7.
If the government decides to fund this, not one more thin dime from me!. Because all other needs will have obviously been met, and building yet another stadium boondoggle is not high on my list of priorities.
These days, 30 years is pretty old for a stadium anyway.
If nothing else, they could could gut it and rebuild it with more floor space, generators with a large fuel supply and its own water tower and have a ready to go shelter for next time.
Oh, and drain half of Lake Pontchartrain to use as a retention pond.

Blanco has proved she has that ability...no not the ability to make a decision...the ability to do it later. She's not far off from needing guidance from a close associate as to when she should *hit.
Doogle
"Decide later" is her mantra.
Evacuees probably caused more damage than Katrina.
Why aren't the owners of the Super dome chiming in on this? Does the state own the building?
Sorry, didn't read the artcle thouroghly.
Hmmm.. the cost, the cost, and for what.. This state has been corrupt since Huey long, probably before that as well. 1.9 Billion just for public works in the last 5 years, highest in the nation. Maybe we should cut our losses and give Louisiana back to the French. /semi-sarc off
Like the Big Dig, now the Dems are figuring out how all American taxpayers can pay for a sports stadium for NO.
Time to get Blanco out of the decision business.
The Junkyard Dog tore the house down in his famous Dog Collar & Chain match at the Superdome in 1980. Hayes had blinded the JYD and this was his revenge match! It drew 26,000 - an awesome attendance for wrestling then (or today) and is one of the great feuds of all time.
I think JYD was buried in NO. It just occured to me that his remains may have been swept away...
