[Jazzman1]

one of the MNAY REASONS I refused to give a dime to the 'katrina fund'!

[Bogey78O]

Blanco is an idiot. Foster took heat for insinuating she was a puppet but so far looks like Foster had the last laugh.

[USNBandit]

laying the blame on gender bias

Nice try, but we think Nagin is an incompetent failure too.

[Just mythoughts]

“One of the things they said was that I had not signed the most basic thing and that’s a declaration of disaster. Darla! I had signed that Friday before the storm! When Louisiana didn’t even know a storm was coming!”


H E L L O!!! Why didn't Louisiana know there was a storm coming? Why didn't you telllllll them there was a storm coming and you had hundreds of yellow school buses to evacuate any and alll?

[silverleaf]

Kathleen Blank-o.....arrrgh. Someone quick, call an exorcist!

[MarkT]

Pathetic. I am a displaced Louisian citizen and although I voted for Bobby Jindal, I do not remember the phrase "gender bias" when she was elected. Now, that her true colors are evident to even the densest, yellow-dog democrats in the main stream press, she promotes the "they hate me because I am woman" theory....no, madam, it is because you are an incompetent fool.

[Kozak]

“Women oftentimes are viewed- you know- as crying uh, and that they’re weak, they’re emotional, and that they can’t handle the situation, whereas men if they shed a tear they’re being viewed as very compassionate.”

If men "shed a tear" it might be compassion, if they blubber like a baby, they WILL be labeled as weak and deservedly so.

[headodenton]

For those of you who have never been to Louisiana, this is the standard snivel. It doesn't make any difference who occupies the governors chair, the machine is in charge. If there is a vacuum between Blanco's ears and behind her eyes, it doesn't matter, it's all a part of the plan. (but, I think that most of us recognized this early on.)

[rdb3]

Playing the victim. Typical.

[Vn_survivor_67-68]

“My pain comes from the pain of the citizens, whose homes are destroyed or ruined,”

she invokes the pain of those she and Nagin harmed, but only points out the loss of their homes (inanimate objects which are absolutely vulnerable to devastating weather), and talks of shares of money......while sidestepping the death and extensive misery her incompetence and partisanship caused by her inaction on the evacuation transportation matters.

This is one LOWDOWM shameless POS La. has for a guv.

[gitmo]

Incompetence bias.

[righttackle44]

"BLANCO SPEAKS OUT ON LIES, PAIN, AND GENDER BIAS"

Well, then maybe she shouldn't be tellin' 'em, engaging in it, and putting away the whips and leather outfits.

[CajunConservative]

Oh good heavens, what a dingbat.

[CajunConservative]

***DINGBAT ALERT***

[VOA]

GENDER BIAS

If there was any bias toward Gov. Blanco, it was in her favor in the
Wall Street Journal article praising her negotiating agricultural
deals with Castro/Cuba.

Blanco's problem is that the truth about her was revealed a month or so
after the article...after Katrina passed by.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Blanco cried, people died. 'Nuff said.

[Let's Roll]

They simply do NOT get it.

Sympathy/empathy is fine - but in times of crisis the citizens need a leader. You know, someone who will actually do something about their plight instead of delaying decisions, jealously guarding prerogratives, and wringing their hands.

First time I saw her, crying on tv, my actual thought was, "Well, it's obvious this one is no Maggie Thatcher". That was the first I'd ever heard of her.

Feeling sorry for others is not the primary qualification of leadership or candidacy for office. Most people felt sorry for Katrina victims.

Geez - LA wake up!

[blam]

With liberals, always blame someone else.

[mhuye]

She will not win even the primary for reelection...take that on great authority...from those that are very close to the situation. M in BR.
