A ranking Louisiana health official turned down federal offers to help move or evacuate patients as Hurricane Katrina bore down on New Orleans, a newly released document shows.

Oh, Hilliary....

I saw a clip of the hearings and a a Coast Guard Admiral mentioned that they rescued over 70,000 people by helo and boat.

What was the original headline? "FEMA Acknowledges Blunders During Katrina"

No bias there. Nope. None at all.

Louisiana officials didn't have a clue what to do. Cause W is a republican with a republican administration, they had insane thoughts the feds were trying to take over their state. What a bunch of real dummies which caused lots of deaths that could have easily been prevented. The citizens of Louisiana should impeach everyone involved in this debacle.

I've been telling you that for months.

This will, of course, be the lead story on the 6:00 news...

How can this be? It was all Bush's fault. Because he doesn't care about blacks.

Bwaaahaha!!

This exact story had an earlier headline that said FEMA screwed up and admitted fault. AP & Mssss Laura Jakes Jordan must have been bombarded with complaints.
