"What happened to all of the money LA has gotten in the past for the dikes???" Isn't that why God sent Hurricane Katrina, to punish the dikes?

Re-election wasn't at stake at the time.

Oh, please, oh, please let her do this.
I cannot think of a single thing more certain to create yet further disarray in the DemocRAT party than this.

"We've got to get people down here to walk through these neighborhoods, to see these houses, to see the stretch of devastation along the whole Gulf Coast."
It should actually read, "Our dem-o-rat base is no longer here and unless we throw money to get them back, our political careers are f*****."

Good point. If they want real levees, they might need to do what the Japanese did when they built Kansai International Airportdrill all the way down to the bedrock and remove the water from the subsoil before building on top of it. Even then, the airport is slowly sinking and it cost mega billions.

Landrieu is connected at the hip with many parts of the nest of corruption known as NO and LA politics. Thank God someone brought this revelation to the light of political discussion.

Why didn't she try this before the recess for Thanksgiving? Why wait until the Christmas recess?
Everything I read says they are in Thanksgiving recess for two weeks. They recessed after the house vote on pulling out of Iraq and will return on December 12th. That is three weeks on my calendar. No wonder we have trouble communicating with these people in DC.

This corupt, insane bitxx should use the time to determine WHY all the money already sent to Louisiana for the levees -- ended up in some other pork project or Democrat's pocketbut..but..how else were they going to rebuild the altar to Mardi Gras, build the roadways and bridges to the casino boats, do an unneeded study on a bridge that had nothing to do with the levees? They'll worry about the levees tomorrow. Ooops.

Nobody's cleaned up the mess? We're only a month from Wilma, which redecorated everyone's yards and lawns with roof tiles, destroyed most trees and fences, and we've worked out rear ends off to at least pick up the mess.
I guess we'll be seeing pictures like this until Landrieu gets her money -- or until next hurricane season -- whichever comes first -- Landrieu pushing hard to get the bucks before NO gets hit again, the levees give way again, and the public realizes it's a lost cause.
To: kittymyrib
The weight of the levees themselves in that bog contributed to the failure. However, I want New Orleans rebuilt enough to send the evacuees home from Baton Rouge (now known as New Orleans North) at least. After spending a few days last week amongst them - my heart is not the soft touch that it was.

Without New Orleans this POS would have never been elected in
the first place. She depends on the housing projects to
keep her in office.

She needs money for her christmas "corruption" break. You can't buy votes for gumbo anymore. Well maybe, really good gumbo.
