One of the heros of Katrina, Ret. LT Gen. Russell "Don't get stuck on stupid!" Honore tells The AP that then Louisanna Governor Kathleen Blanco REFUSED to reopen a hospital in a poverty stricken area after the hospital was completely cleaned and restored by our military. The general claims that Blanco did not want the hospital reopened because they wanted to muscle more federal dollars from the recovery. Click on the link for the whole misserable story.

Working on a plan to destroy President Bush even if meant allowing Louisiana citizens to die.

Just like Rat FL Governor Lawton Chiles refusing to declare a state of emergency after Hurricane Andrew so Bush 41 would get the blame.

Blanco may also have gotten instructions from the Rat leadership to keep it closed so they could trash Bush.

These people expect us to trust them with governing?

Dr. James Moises, a former Charity emergency room doctor who helped clean the hospital after Katrina, said Charity was made useable, and the medical staff was eager to see it back in use.

Moises said state officials used Katrina as an excuse to close Charity and ask FEMA for the money to build a new medical complex. Moises said: "It was their orchestrated plan. It was, 'How can we manipulate the disaster for institutional gains?'"

I knew this was their game from the beginning. I've been in that hospital building - there's no way that some temporary flooding or roof damage could do any permanent harm. It's built like a fortress. So it's not the latest, glossy example of the architect's art... the patients don't care how pretty or new the building is.

All that greed has done is cripple the nearby teaching hospitals. LSU and Tulane medical centers depended heavily on Charity for teaching cases. Now, the money isn't coming and many of the medical jobs have been cut back.

Naturally, Blanco denies all. Gee... who should I believe - the General or the mouth-breathing Democrat politician? Speaking of, maybe Nagin shouldn't have dressed up (mockingly) like Gen. Honore on the Mardi Gras after Katrina, huh?
