All of this post-Katrina bus talk. What about the busses that were there BEFORE the storm and allowed to sit idle and flood?

I want to hear more about that!!

According to Mary Landrieu, they were underwater before the hurricane hit....

WALLACE: But Senator, there were hundreds of buses sitting in that parking lot. Can I just ask the question?

LANDRIEU: You can, but let me finish, if I could, please.

(CROSSTALK)

WALLACE: Well, look in the picture here. There were hundreds of buses in parking lots. The city and the state.

LANDRIEU: That is underwater. Those...

WALLACE: It wasn't underwater before the...

LANDRIEU: Those buses were underwater. Those buses...

WALLACE: They weren't underwater on Saturday; they weren't underwater on Sunday.

LANDRIEU: We had two catastrophes. We had a hurricane and then we had a levee break. When the levee broke, not only did New Orleans go underwater, but St. Bernard when underwater and St. Tammany Parish went underwater.

WALLACE: But they weren't underwater on Sunday.

Sorry for the late reply.

My family received an e-mail that Blanco hit the bottle when she was informed the hurricane was going their way. Her indulgence lasted for several days, hence her inability to act/respond.

when i saw those buses sitting there in the water i was shocked. whoever left them there to sit in water ought to have to pay for the repairs etc. common sense says save the people & move whatever you can save to higher ground. that way you have something left to use & not have to replace ...therefore there is more money for other things. everyone knew this storm was coming. where i live we move our boats out into the bay, move anything we can thats in low areas that flood. its called common sense. so i think blanco & nagin need to pay to fix the buses etc that they were neglective in moving right out of their own pockets.
