anybody listening to Haley Barbour revise katrina's history...

[bridgit]

as to her being a "category 1" when she passed florida. the point is not well taken. they are all still affording cover of the lack of federal response imo.

[hang a left]

1. I knew it was a Cat 5 two days before it hit the Gulf States....

and I don't even watch TV.

[Birthmark]

2. Yup.

It was not only Category 5, but we knew that NO was in the crosshairs. Barbour is trying to cover his and his Party's inept asses.

[Postman]

5. NO ! NO ! It had to be a category 1 !!! I said it is, so it had to be!!

What are you going to believe, me or your own eyes??

[bridgit]

8. sure, and i'll lay odds she was a Cat-0 at some point past...

now we will see why they make the big bucks having shucked & jived their ways past the polling machines. i do wish dem leadership would start to refute something however but that's just me. so long as republicans are allowed to control the conversation they will. everybody knows that.

3. They said it would strengthen once it got in the Gulf. Like EVERY

hurricane did last year that went into the Gulf.

7. And the year before that and the year ......

:grr:

4. He's such an idiot

Did you see Miles' face? It was clearly one of disgust.

6. Sunday night, they all said, "New Orleans ducked a bullet"

By Tuesday, they were all saying, "Nobody could have predicted how bad it would be."

"Let them eat Spin..."

[bridgit]

10. that was the by-line that disturbed me the most...

there was NO WAY IN HELL for them to know that and yet, they so love to hear their own lips flapping they said it anyhow. it's bad enough our 'free press' is no longer free; but when it disseminates misinformation it is time to seek alternative imo.

[htuttle]

12. It was all about the markets

They'll say anything avoid panicking the herds on Wall Street. That's far more important to them than the fate of us civilians.

[Shadder]

9. In all fairness

He is correct, it was a cat 1 when it passed over Florida. And at that time it was not being projected to come in anywhere near NO, but to take a direct northward turn and co in in the pahnandle and go up into Georgia.

11. oh, that's plenty fair enough, but for the fact that Haley Barbour...

is not the governor of florida...he's the governor of mississippi :shrug: sure he's freaking out now because NOLA "dodged the bullet" and biloxi got shot instead. he'll have to stop putting together sweetheart deals for his republican pals for a day or so & help fix the problem big time!!
