Why is it that whenever survival of the fittest comes into play, the Darwin embracers always scream the loudest?

That explains why the Dems have no problem busing so many urban poor to polling places (sometimes, reportedly, to multiple polling places) in a SINGLE DAY.

Hey I think you have the answer to the next evacuation. Just tell the Dems all the people they bus out can vote when they get off the bus. Buses would have rolled out of the swamps and emptied that dome in minutes.

This Senator is personally liable as a Senator from Louisana for failure to get federal appropriations to improve the levies. That is the purpose of a Senator to wheel and deal to get the necessary funds for her state. She is the failure. She blames Bush and it is called "projection", accucing someone else of the thing you know you are guilty of yourself.

"Mayor Nagin and most mayors in this country have a hard time getting their people to work on a sunny day,

I'm having a bit of a problem here. How exactly is their lack of a work ethic Bush's fault?

"Mayor Nagin and most mayors in this country have a hard time getting their people to work on a sunny day"

If that isn't a sign of an incredibly screwed up city, I don't know what is!

"...ALWAYS blaming someone else for their gross criminal neglect and incompetence."

Are they still trying to put that guy in jail for proving what a simple task it was?

So, not only did Bush have to prepare Blanco's own state for a state of emergency and insist on mandatory evacuations...he was suppose to plan and execute the evacuation. I knew Demorats didn't believe in state's rights...I just didn't know they would take it this far.

She's not crazy, the democrats just don't give a damn and they say whatever they are allowed to get away with. Note that she deftly left the realm of sane commentary as it suited her. First, what do school buses have to do with "mass transit"? Next, did anyone deny the mayor federal reimbursement if he used city funds for some overtime pay? The city would in fact have been repaid. But aren't the lives of the citizens more important than the city budget?

And tell me why a supposed lack of federal mass transit funding created disgruntled school bus drivers who would refuse to report to work to help out in a crisis.

Finally, the big one - note the Mayor NEVER ASKED a single bus driver to come in and save poor people. The Senator just knows it wasn't worth trying. But the federal govt, well they should have been parachuting commandos into the driver's seats.

Well, don't you know that EVERYTHING is Bush's fault? Unless it's something good that happens. Then he's NOT responsible.

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."

Now everyone has a job? Come on, Ms. Landrieu. First everyone is poor and doesn`t have a car, and now they all have jobs? I guess everyone walked to work in N.O.....


"And it's because this administration and administrations before them do not understand the difficulties that mayors . . . face."

Administrations before ? Careful Ms . Landrieu, a certain New York senator and ex President might have a problem with that statement.

Please, please tell me that Jabbar is not being charged with any crime. If he is, they are all insane. He saved 80 peoples and one of their damn buses (the only one the NOLA School District has left).

Mary Landrieu could've gotten every one of those people to the polls on election day w/o Bush's help.

The problem w/ NOLA government is that there wasn't enough time to organize graft and bribes and kickbacks to insure that things actually worked. Rest assured, if there would've been money in it, the people would've had busses.

Probably the only time I've actually laughed through a news show.

I thought it was very good of Chris to just let her spout. She never made any sense and her blame clearly did not sell, Especially with Vitter admitting that the mayor and Governor had a lot of blame as well.

Is this woman mentally deranged or what?

Someday, that woman's going to tell one too many lies, and then smoke will come out of her ears. Then her head will explode, revealing her to be an android.

As much as I wince when I have to watch George W. Bush's stumbles or Hillary's shrill shout or Jesse Jackson's empty bombast, nothing makes me want to put an aluminum softball bat through my TV more than Mary Landrieu's condescending kindergarten teacher tone.

I don't know, but there is no way he could ever be convicted.

"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.

This was the best-run catastrophic flood of New Orleans that I have ever seen, too! And I'm 52!
