And they blamed bush who could’ve shown up a day or two before he did.
*************************
About 3 days before landfall, Bush began calling Gov. Blanco and offering to bring FEMA and the National Guard to LA, to help in evacuations, shelters, supplies, etc. ...Blanco refused to give permission for Feds to enter the State to help.

That’s right, I remember. It’s burned into my impression of how the dems and the media play with moderate goofball, all due respect to the former pres, republicans.

They must simply give up trying to please these people, recognize who and what they are and, for the sake of our future, just stop trying to play the game the way the dems do. They’ll never win it

It was even worse. She was so ignorant she had no idea that by law, before federal help could happen, she HAD to request it.

I saw a live press conference where she was blasting Bush for not sending help.

A reporter responded, but governor, YOU have to request it.

She looked at him with a real deer in the headlights look.

I remember thinking that we would never see that clip on the news ever again.

Also; get the movie "Idiocracy", mentioned in another post.

We are now living it.
