Sunday, Sept. 11, 2005 10:27 p.m. EDT Mary Landrieu: School Bus Failure Bush's Fault
It was the Bush administration's fault that hundreds of city school buses weren't dispatched to evacuate the hurricane-battered residents of New Orleans two weeks ago before floods swamped the city, Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu said Sunday.
Asked on "Fox News Sunday" why New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin failed to follow the city's evacuation plan and press the buses into service, Landrieu blamed Bush administration cuts in mass transit funding.
"Mayor Nagin and most mayors in this country have a hard time getting their people to work on a sunny day, let alone getting them out of the city in front of a hurricane," she said. "And it's because this administration and administrations before them do not understand the difficulties that mayors . . . face." Landrieu then added: "In other words, this administration did not believe in mass transit. They won't even get people to work on a sunny day, let alone getting them out."
Saying she was unwilling to criticize Louisiana officials, the Louisiana Democrat insisted that Mayor Nagin's evacuation efforts had been a smashing success.
"Because the mayor evacuated the city, we had the best evacuation . . . of any evacuation I've seen. I'm 50 years old; I've never seen one any better," Landrieu told FNS.
That prompted FNS host Chris Wallace to remind: "But there were a hundred thousand people left in the city."
Landrieu once again blamed the White House, saying:
"They did [have] a hundred thousand people left in the city because this federal government won't support cities to evacuate people, whether it's from earthquakes, tornadoes, or hurricanes. And that's the truth."
She is an idiot... but she knows as a democrat that the faithful will believe every word.
"most mayors in this country have a hard time getting their people to work on a sunny day"
I wonder how many of these "lazy city workers" will vote for her next time?
Ooops...sorry, didn't close the italics.

where can i join the class action lawsuit against the State of Louisiana for wasting my tax dollars???
Another example of her complete incompetence as a public servant . Who the hell are these people and how the hell do they get in office .UNREAL
That's her story and she's sticking to it come hell or high water.
Landrieu is just another "New Orleans Lady".
At her next interview, Fox needs to have a calendar handy.
"Senator, why weren't the buses used to evacuate people?"
"Because the buses are underwater."
"Let's review the concept of Time, ok? They are NOW underwater, Senator - but look...see? This is Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The buses were NOT underwater those days, not even on Monday. THAT's when the buses were supposed to be used for evacuation. Are you with me?"
And if she filibusters again, they can just hold the question up on a placard for the camera. But...don't expect it to happen. After this particular interview, I don't think she'll get anywhere near another Fox camera, and will save all her nutcase tirades for the sycophantic suck-ups at the other alphabets.
Apparently both hell and high water did come...
If ya gonna lie , lie BIG ..
and yet the MSM will NOT question anything she has said..thats why she dosen't give a crap how stupid her statements are.
It is really very simple - DemocRats are communists
Thank goodness somebody read that evacuation plan.
*snort* dang it, I actually didn't spray my keyboard the first time I read it, but there ya go sayin it again...
"'Splain it to me again, Lucy!"
I think we'd find a clone of Hillary's! Ol' Crusty, the alien pantsuit sent to Earth to create a race of heartless ACLU lawyers... oops, mission accomplished!.
Marvelous work! That's hilarious.
The lying corruption of the DUHmocrat party has passed the point of no return.
Thank you! I didn't know how to do that!
