Blanco demands Katrina probe

I want a probe into why Congress thinks it is its business to divert tax money to LA. Disaster relief was always the responsibility of the State, not the feds.

"former FEMA Director Michael Brown said the White House considered politics while planning to deal with Hurricane Katrina"

This is so typical of Bush's appointees.

[Lurker]

I'll bet Mr. Brown would be a lot more 'loyal' to Bush if Bush hadn't stabbed him in the back.

What goes around comes around.

"..the White House was considering federalizing Louisiana because Blanco was a Democrat an idiot."

Much better.

[OldFriend]

If only the President had federalized Louisiana's national guard, many many lives would have been saved. Rather it is BlankO who played politics and dithered the time away while people were in harm's way.

why dosent she investigate 'school bus' Nagin???

"Blanco demands Katrina probe "

She really ought to keep her fetishes to herself.

The Europeans didn't kill six million Jews. Hitler and his Nazi regime murdered the Jewish people.... Get history straight...this reminds me of reading Liberal writers sensationalizing, homogenizing, or flat out lying about history.

Furthermore, as for Katrina, this has much more to do with the Local and State Governments in Louisiana.

Go get a clue.

Isn't Germany in Europe?

Aren't Germans Europeans?

Get history straight

I have it straight.

Hitler and his Nazi regime murdered the Jewish people

Yea right. And no Poles, French, Norwegians, Czechs, or any other Europeans helped at all.

Go get a clue.

Bite me.

Now that is a three pointer from a LONG way out. LMAO

The cause of most of the Katrina problems was incompetence on the part of Democrat politicians (Nagin and Blanco).

DONE - There, I've saved the Congress a bunch of time and money. They can send me a check at ....

Perhaps Blanco needs to be probed as to why she thinks she was ever qualified to be a Governor.

[BnBlFlag]

Somebody needs to probe her dumbass.

[libs_kma]

I thought the primary reason the Government was considering federalizing Louisiana was because Blanco was an incompetent, blubbering idiot, and being a Dim was only a secondary consideration.

[sten]

my personal belief is that the dems in LA had set up the current administration by not acting properly for Katrina by not evacuating the state and then not using proper means of transport (buses). By forcing the President to order the governor to evacuate, the dems got GW's hands dirty, allowing the press to lay it on him... which would be one of the first times the President was responsible for local storm response.

and to say that the current administration discussed federalizing LA due to it being under dem control implies they also felt the dems were playing political games and would drag ass as much as possible in order to create as much political hay as possible.

[libs_kma]

She's falling back on the blame the gubmint playbook becuase it plays well with the N'awlins crowd.

Plus, Bobby Jindal just announced that he's entering the race for LA governor.

[daybreakcoming]

Isn't Blanco running around 20-30 percent with Jinhdal(ms) way out front? Obviously "Brownie" can be bought. At any rate, Blanco was the one playing politics with her citizens' well-being as evidenced by emails during the big stall.

[rollo tomasi]

Appeasement to incompetence will destroy us.
