Mike Brown needs to be clapped in irons & thrown in jail when this is over

[Zenlitened]

The head of FEMA.

He just said flat-out that no one knew of the stranded victims at the Convention Center until today.

Unreal.

[Kenroy]

1. I have already writen

my Senators and my Representative DEMANDING an investigation of this whole fiasco.

[achtung_circus]

2. And Paula Zahn, of all people, the ultimate media whore

called him on it.

[whistle]

3. When ones head is buried up ones ass, it is difficult to know what

...is happening around ones self!

[Duer 157099]

4. I heard that too, and it turned my head

but then I realized he wasn't talking about the Superdome; I think today was the first time I heard that people were spontaneously heading to the Convention Center.

7. They weren't just "spontaneously" heading there, they were told to go

there when the Superdome filled up.

[Old and In the Way]

5. He might suck at emergency preparedness, but......

I'll bet he's a hell of a fundraiser for the RNC. Certainly can lie on his feet...always an important Republican qualification.

Sean Jeffries of New Orleans had already been evacuated from one French Quarter hotel when he was ordered out of a second hotel Tuesday because of rising water.

The 37-year-old banker — who admitted to looting some food from a nearby supermarket — said the hotel guests were told they were being taken to a convention center, but from there, they didn't know.

"But, but, but we didn't know which convention center he meant!" Hint, dumbass: the older one was replaced by a casino years ago. :grr:

edit: added timestamp to show just how long FEMA has had its head up its ass

Hip-deep with sewage-contaminated water.
