It's a sickening story. This is a loose transcription.
The governor sent 100 people to a Warehouse telling them they would be save there. Then when the flood waters started rising she said she couldn't help them. They all died!
The democrats have good reason to be desperate and afraid.

Did Tony give a news source for the warehouse story?
A federal team of morticians was recovering bodies from a flooded St. Bernard Parish nursing home Wednesday.
Officials say 30 to 35 victims died while waiting to be rescued after Hurricane Katrina.
Parish officials say nursing home management ignored the order to evacuate early. By the time Katrina gained strength, the hurricane was well on the way, and then it got too late to safely take everybody out. Only about half the patients were rescued.
"We had evacuation plans for all the nursing homes," said parish coroner Brian Johnson Bertucci. "This particular home, due to extenuating circumstances, could not evacuate. They had special-needs patients, which made it difficult to get a bus to lead the people up."

Elderly abandoned to die in Katrina's fury
September 8, 2005
When Katrina's fury bore down on the Gulf Coast, the old people were the least able to run. Some could barely walk.
Some were left in despair at a rural Mississippi school. Others drowned.
The story was especially grim just outside New Orleans. About 30 people died at a flooded nursing home in Chalmette, after staff left the elderly residents behind in their beds.
The 60 residents of St. Rita's Nursing Home had a plan to evacuate before Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans. Instead, the staff and patients remained as the storm flooded the low-lying parish of St. Bernard.
But now, the bodies of up to 35 residents are decomposing inside the one-storey facility in this area about 10 kilometres east of downtown where 67,000 people once lived.

"When we saw that Hummer still in the parking lot a few days ago, we knew we were in trouble because that's the first vehicle they would have used to escape," Parish Councilman Tony Ricky Melerine said Wednesday.
The governor did that?
