Katrina e-mails show Blanco PR worries

The real story is she was fighting federalizing the national guard, and plainly did so for CYA political reasons. She directly impeded the federal effort and the emails are clear they were looking for ways to sell that politically. She and the national democrats like Mike McCurry who were advising her are MURDERERS. They let their own constituents die to play games with the Bush administration.

And by the way, last I heard she is withholding her emails which she sends on Blackberries belonging to her husband and a trooper. She deliberately doesn't have one of her own and says her husband's is "private." Subpoena them all! Blanco lied people died.

Never mind, "House panel on Katrina"

Well, at least we don't have to worry about Senator Voinovich crying over his party's alleged failures or something RINO-ish like that.

We just get to watch the House Republicans fall all over themselves trying to suck up to the media by not going to hard on her. "Ma'am I am sorry the President, who is a member of my party, I am ashamed to say, let you down, here's another couple hundred billion. I feel your pain, ma'am."

The Dems and the MSM are desparate, I mean really f---ing desparate to sweep the Iraq elections off the front page, so some good DemocRAT Bush-bashing will be right up their alley. Then, you know the RINOs will have to join in to be sure that they get their face time.

This must be the tip of some enormous iceberg, if CNN is talking about it.

Memo to Governor Blanco: Dress for Duress

To be sure to outshine all your foes --
Wear a wardrobe of Liz Claiborne clothes
Don a sweater by Bauer.
For a touch of raw power,
Put on waterproof boots with steel toes.

However, they (media) rarely look at the real failures.

They sure took a good close look at Michael Brown and his performance and they were smiling all the way to the presses. Michael Brown made some mistakes, but so did EVERYONE associated with this disaster. Mistakes were inevitable. Only Katrina could come out a winner. It burns me up the way he was raked through the coals for FEMA's part in the recovery effort. Fair is fair, do the same thing to Blanco and Nagin.

(Note to self: it will never happen)

Blanco and New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin are to testify Wednesday in front of the House panel on Katrina.
