Sorry to have to break this news to the moonbats and poverty pimps........NOT

[HairOfTheDog]

Why is she even giving this the time of day?

Michelle, don't engage the moonbats, they'll think they're relevant.

Calypso Lou-eey, please call the mothership.

The corps has long claimed the sheet piling was driven to 17.5 feet deep, but Team Louisiana recently used sophisticated ground sonar to prove it was only 10 feet deep.

I smell construction-skimming.

[conservativebabe]

You know what is priceless, is the way that these crazy libs can throw accusations around like that, getting folks all in a tither and then it gets dropped like a hot potato. No one is held to account for slandering the administration.

I mean, it's no surprise, but still.

Wait a minute...I thought Pres. Bush piloted a tanker into that levee

[wolfpat]

It seems to me that the real problem is that New Orleans is a stupid place to put a city.

[rdb3]

Sorry to disappoint the moonbats and Mother Ship riders, but the flooding of New Orleans wasn't a Republican conspiracy to kill black people. Via Paul at Wizbang, Bob Marshall of the New Orleans Time-Picayune penned a summary yesterday of the real reasons for the failure of the 17th Street Canal levee in New Orleans:

Good. I'm glad they did. Now can we just let this go?

[clee1]

I did it! I wanted ALL the poor welfare-riding black people in NOLA to DIE! < /extreme sarcasm>

[johnny7]

And Bush accepted the blame anyway.

[truemiester]

Your wrong! I know it. The national of islamofasism has it on good authority that Bush was out there lat at night, laughing hysterically while he planted his bombs. How can you sit there and dispute the nation of idiots..er..islam'o'fasists-r-us

[Beth528]

And here is some more stupid statements the democrats put out there..

It is reported that black hurricane victims in New Orleans have begun eating corpses to survive.

Four days after the storm, thousands of blacks in New Orleans are dying like dogs. No-one has come to help them.And this is so stupid anyone that believes this needs help bad..
The democrats are beyond reason now. It is beyond our imagining to know what they are going to do next and what they are prepared to do. There is only one comparison: Nazi Germany.

[shamusotoole]

A question that has been forgotten in the chaos of MSM disinfo is whether the North winds over Lake Pontchartrain would have caused the requisite 11' surge, or was it the Gulf storm surge up the Channel?

In other words, would a surge dam have prevented this catastrophe or not?

Can any one answer this?

[sweetliberty]

"KATRINA FOLLOW-UP: WHO BOMBED THE LEVEE?"

That's easy. Everybody knows it was Bush. < /sarcasm >

[wardaddy]

KATRINA FOLLOW-UP: WHO BOMBED THE LEVEE?

I did. I've hated Lake Pontchartrain since I was a kid. Too much water. Too long a bridge.

[ctdonath2]

A year ago Beth LeBlanc and her neighbors on Bellaire Drive had a problem no one could seem to fix. Their yards, which swept to the base of the 17th Street Canal levee, kept filling with water. Then on Aug. 29, as Hurricane Katrina moved out of the area, that levee collapsed and tumbled into their homes, allowing Lake Pontchartrain and a world of misery to pour into the city. Now the residents of Bellaire Drive have questions.

I'd say "Lake Pontchartrain is trying to fill your front yard" is a pretty darn good answer.

Malkin ping!

Please FReepmail me if you would like to be added to, or removed from, the Michelle Malkin ping list...

But according to the Washington Post, reports of levee problems began to surface in the mid-1990s, before the floodwalls were even completed. The timeline is sketchy, but it looks like the flawed design plans were approved about two decades ago.

For the mathematically-challenged, that's more than 10 years before Dubya was elected President.

Interesting.
