This is saying Blanco had not asked for assistance on Tuesday Aug. 30. Yet the state's website has a document showing that she made the request on August 28.

Well now, things are finally starting to point in the right direction. She's been in a major CYA mode yesterday by blasting FEMA for not removing the bodies fast enough, although if she had been better prepared, maybe, just MAYBE, there wouldn't be as many bodies to remove!

I heard on fox and friends this morning that someone from Fox called FEMA to ask why they were so slow on body recovery....FEMA told them that the Governor's office had said last week that the State was going to be taking care of all body recovery. The good Governor has no idea what is going on in her own office. Are we surprised......NO!

O-NO NO Edith Bunker was not a HATER -nor a petty despot.
Gene was an excellent actress and Edith a character that can
only in a most superficial way be compared to Blank -Oh.

A sure sign of incompetent leadership is to switch attention from self created problems by always blaming others.

I agree- but in certain captive corners of America--the
braying Jacki will Never cease to blame Bush for everything. The demented and decieved and criminal mind simply cannot admit that despite their efforts at vote scams G.W. still won the popular vote and was NOT "selected " by the US supreme Court. He has his faults .
But he is still better than any living -and most dead Democrats.

I sure heads are rolling at the NY Times because they were scooped on this by the Northside Journal. /sarcasm

"Now, hollering for body count."

I just heard on the Fox Morning Show that apparently, last week, Blanco's office told FEMA that the state of LA would handle all body removal.

I believe all she requested was $900,000 in federal funds for clean-up et al

She was paralyzed by fear of the impending doom

I think that's the most charitable assessment of Blanco's inaction that we can make.

If we have documentation to back up this time line this becomes a no-brainer as to who is culpable and why.

Yes, the federal response may have been faster but, all in all, it appears that it got there fast enough to save the vast majority of those who were rescue-able.

Purely polictical premeditated murder in the interest of 2008. Blank-0 belongs in Levenworth.

She will certainly be sued.

She'll just have to siphon off some of those pre-misappropriated federal funds, to settle out of court with anyone who tries to sue her.

Excellent account of what happened!

And, rather than apologizing and accepting the blame that is being directed at him, GW should have simply told the truth about who failed in their duties?

And his supporters should have been out there 24/7, as the socialists were, outlining what went wrong.......
