Another aspect of the bus story needing more attention is to get a handle on the number of buses in the Baton Rouge School District and the number of municipal buses in the city of Baton Rouge.
There are likely 300 school and municipal buses in Baton Rouge that could have been used on Saturday and Sunday before the storm hit to evacuate the New Orleans residents.
Then on Tuesday those same 300 or so Baton Rouge buses could have first hauled the entire Louisiana National Guard to the Superdome and return with the people who had stayed in the Superdome.
If Nagin and Blanco had half a brain they could have handled the entire situation all by themselves.
Instead, I fear that those politicians who are enablers for the welfare class, become just like the welfare class they have created. Namely, these liberal politicians can no longer think for themselves, but instead wait for a higher level of government to tell them what to do.

Agree. And not just the politicians but the masses as well. The left gets this entitlement group-think out there all the time - and the right generally does a poor job refuting it. This story is such an example, and there are more.
Where are the Republican Congressmen taking to the floor of the House in "outrage" at the decisions of the Ray Nagins of this disaster?
