Her performance yesterday cost LA big bucks. IMO
Dam hell dam where are all the Roops, shut up - dam hell dam - we more roops and we need them right now - dam hell dam.
Thank you Mayor for your testimony
If Blanco doesn't retire, I think she has more to fear (electorally) from her fellow Democrats than from the GOP in Louisiana.
It is up to the people of Louisiana to clean house -- if they still want these liberal corrupt maggots (the so-called governor and mayor) to continue to destroy their state, THEN LET THEM PAY THE FREAKIN' BILLS --- not the rest of the U.S. taxpayers!!!!
Well said. Let LA figure out a way to bring private biz back into the state for reconstruction projects. No one is going to rebuild UNTIL the levees are shored up, anyway. LA right now is a very bad investment. In a few years, things will improve but not until then.
The welfare vote is strong in LA. It took years to build and it is going to pay off.

Then let the state of Louisiana PAY FOR IT ALL. It is bad enough, the size of the Federal welfare state we support as well as paying for those in our own states.
This nation just seems to be backsliding into major socialism...
Their Republican questioners stuck more closely to the committees actual purpose, which is to study the development, coordination, and execution by local, state, and federal authorities of emergency response plans and other activities in preparation for Hurricane Katrina; and the local, state, and federal government response to Hurricane Katrina.
Predictably, local (NO) and State (LA) were totally to blame in ALL phases, while the Fed did what it could under the circumstances.
The Committee will no doubt conclude Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco were grossly negligent and derelict in their duty, response, and preparation of the entire Katrina fiasco.
I HOPE the Committee does so conclude about Nagin and Blanco, among other aspects about LA.
If the Committee does NOT, and does not include a public reprimand of the highest degree about these two, then I conclude the Committee is, also, to blame, just as are Blanco and Nagin.
I'd hardly heard a more disgusting delivery as I did hearing Blanco before that Committee. I could barely believe her total absence of manners, her presumptions so thick they reeked.
She could at least be humble in ASKING for taxpayers to fork over billion/s of dollars -- I doubt this is her intended one and only such plea, either -- but her entire delivery was so offensive in blaming everyone else, particularly the federal government...she omits entirely from her frame of references any focus on herself, on her own state and government.
Meaning, she's incompetent. She's not governing, she's using.

An arrogant, incompetent taking the offensive and playing the blame-game. It's all she's got...
But that's the typical Democrat's modus operandi though, isn't it?
Try electing new leaders when the GoverNOT cancells the elections!!!!
This STATE NEEDS HELP... not financial but political... Please can we have an overthrow here like they had in Iraq??? Hell they get to vote... but since all the voting busses..oops school busses were flooded due to criminally negligent missuse of public funds to secure the levees,, Bunko cancelled our elections.... I guess she learned a thing or two when she had that nice visit with her patron Saint Chavez just before the hurricane.
ping for later
Ping for later.
bwwwwaaahhhhhaaaaaa
Exactly. And Blankie's over-the-top incompetence only feeds into that conclusion. Big-time.
First, the federal guvmint only SENDS money, Blankie. YOU and yours have to get a clue about how to get it responsibly spent. With no plans, no vision, no leadership, galaxy-sized buckets of money will do NO GOOD. PRIVATE BUSINESS WILL NOT COME.
And if the Feds HAD come in and taken over operations, as actually was necessary (though not desired or constitutionally allowed), who would have been the first to yell about a police state because a federal officer ordered buses under Nagin's "control" to be used for evacuation?
WTF I don't want a DIME of my money going to rebuild a freakin city BELOW sea level. WAKE UP PEOPLE! This is insane.
WHAT A WASTE of MY money.
grrrr
Both of these people are idiots - if this is what LA wants then let them pay for it - as they have.
What a bunch of FREAKS
"With no plans, no vision, no leadership, galaxy-sized buckets of money will do NO GOOD. PRIVATE BUSINESS WILL NOT COME."
Bingo! I think the rats' plan is to replace Blank-oh with Breaux the next gube election. At any rate, NOLA is a very long time from being a big city again. It's best hope is to limp along as a port city and get the levees shored up properly with some solid engineering. Until then, no private investors will spend a penny on that sunken mess.
Of course...
Unfortunately, the law dictated the city and state "control" their own ill-fated, ill-prepared operation and the fed abided in the official protocol.
The investigation is gonna get ever so ugly for the Dems IF the GOP chooses to exploit it for political purposes (which they have EVERY right to do to prove what a joke Dems are in "governing.")
