Softball set up from King to Chertoff - I know you couldn't have....

[NRaleighLiberal]

predicted this. If I hear this one more time.....THIS WAS PREDICTED BY EVERY METEOROLOGIST ON EVERY CABLE NEWS AND WEATHER CHANNEL!!!!! My God, the incredible stupidity.

1. Kings a hack... No one really takes him seriously anymore..

[blm]

3. King got too cozy with Poppy Bush and now won't do anything that might

hurt his "treasured relationship" with the Bushes.

That's why as soon as Bush took office, King reduced his political shows by about 95%

psychics and televangelists get more airtime from LKL than Democratic lawmakers.

2. We have heard this for YEARS

Everyone in NOLA knew about it. We all heard about this EVERY time a storm was brewing and it "near missed" NOLA.

ITS TOTAL BULLSHIT.

6. GODDAMN IT

Ask Chertoff about Hurricane Pam.

Hurricane Pam followed much like Hurricane Katrina, crested the levey's with 100,000's of people in the city.

Hurricane Pam happened a year ago -- in a walkthrough of every evacuation and disaster preparedness agency in the country that might be affected.

Couldn't predict this my ass. Everyone in NOLA knew what would happen if the levy's were breached.

7. A large chunk of the country couldn't sleep Sunday night

because we were all glued to our weather-tracking screens horrified that NOLA was about to get wiped off the map.

Meanwhile, the head of our so-called disaster preparedness agency "had no idea this was coming."

Chertoff and Bush have committed either murder or (at the very least) manslaughter, folks.

That's why Larry King is trying to construct an alibi for them. Problem is, nobody can pretend they "didn't know" Katrina was about to whack New Orleans.

8. The new mantra..."no one could have imagined..." How many people will

believe that when this last weekend all over the media there was nothing but gloom and doom predictions for NOLA?

Not to mention FEMA and the Corps of Engineers, prior to Bush neutering their disaster/flood mitigation programs.

Welcome to Bushco's banana republic...
