if they gave out worse Governor awards, Blanco would win one

[donsu]

her face never changes

she seem half zombie

she talks but doesn't actually say anything of import.

watching her I wanted to stick her with a pin to see if she would say ouch.

1. She is a Democrat -right

If so we need all the help we can get : )

[Walt Starr]

2. I see you. n/t

[TornadoTN]

3. In all fairness

I doubt this woman has slept for more than few minutes since last week. She is the only person that I see on TV that has SOME grasp of the gravity of the situation.

[earthside]

10. Right ...

... cut Blanco some slack. She's seen much of her state devastated, and she has had to provide leadership by herself since President Asshole has been AWOL again.

If she has had even a few minutes of restful sleep I'd be surprised.

I think, all things considered, she and the Mayor of New Orleans have done a very good job.

4. She has been out for a week trying to get help and to get people out of NO

She is probably stunned by now, as most NO people.

Where was Bush at that time? Playing guitare?

So please, give her a break.

[Arkana]

5. She's better than Haley Barbour.

He's a dick.

9. I have contrasted their responses lots of time. and Blancho wins with

no problem.

[Mass]

11. She has been out for a week trying to get people out of NO before and

after the flood.

She was the only one at this level who seemed to understand that something needed to be done urgently. Unfortunately, she can only do so much bu herself.

[Wilber_Stool]

You said it

I hope her organizational skills are better that her communication skills. If not, they're doomed.

[LiberalEsto]

6. I thought I saw her in tears

or nearly so, one or two days ago on tv

[rodeodance]

7. god god, the women probably has not gotten any sleep!!

[liberal N proud]

8. Are you sure that she is not in shock?

All that has happened, she could be so disturbed it is affecting her actions.
I would hold judgement for a while.
At least she is running around smirking.

[Old and In the Way]

12. Great observation.

She's been getting what, 2 hours a sleep a day?
Her state is completely wasted....and no real resources to fight this problem. Her NG is in Iraq and she's obviously not getting any support from Washington.

But lets blame this on her.

[Judi Lynn]

13. Her effectiveness at her job, which is NOT doing tv appearances

should be gauged by what she has ACTUALLY been accomplishing, which could be considerable, and not summed up in a couple of sound bites.

She seems exactly like someone deeply concerned, which is appropriate.

[Moderator]

14. Locking....

This is flamebait. The Governor of
New Orleans is doing all she can to
deal with this enormous tragedy.
Let's not criticize. Instead
let's put ourselves in her shoes.
She is doing the best that she can.
