Perhaps we should be blaming Landrieu, as well. Her Aunt Phyllis Landrieu is on the Orleans Parish School Board, the same board that wouldn't make any decisions about allowing the buses to be used for an evacuation. Blanco, Landrieu, Landrieu....Something really smells.
By golly, Jamal Simmons is on now STILL saying that the Feds let those people wait for four days, and O'Reilly is not going after him like he should. Some "no-spin" zone!
I am CONVINCED this was a plan to make Bush look bad, NOT mere incompetence. And the Rats used the most helpless members of society to try and smear the President.
If I recall the minutes correctly, Phyllis Landrieu seemed to be in control of the meeting.
People would make their case or statement, and Landrieu would respond with a one sentence directive or comment.
It was Phyllis Landrieu who effectively told the Board to go back to ask the City about fuel and personnel support (e.g., $$$).
Landrieu's brother is also Lt. Governor!
