1. Fuck him

:grr:

[Oreo]

2. Those are their lone talking points

[maine_raptor]

3. Its Dan Goure

the famous freeper

[KamaAina]

4. Excellent Freudian typo

it looks like "anal cyst" (i.e. OxyRush).

Actually Mayor Nagin is one of the few elected officials who has done a damn thing except bloviate. His efforts have, alas, been stymied at every turn, especially by the bumbling, clueless Feds.

5. i thought the repugs said now is not the time for politcs?

sorry, of course, they meant that only to stop taking responsibility.

-May Landriue(Democrat-Woman)
-Mayor Nagin (Democrat-Black)
-Poor people who had no resources to leave the city(Democrat-Mostly Blacks/Minorities)

-When will the Rethugs start to blame the Catholics, Jews, Asians, Budhists, Unions, 'Old Europe" and the French? :eyes:

:argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh::argh:

11. How many states did the hurricane hit?

How many states got directly hit on 9/11?

[Media_Lies_Daily]

13. F*** that noise! Bullshit!

[Imagevision]

14. Mayor Nagan called out Bush, the timing of Friday to allow water/food in

was power play for the weekend...and they may finally get water god damn it!

15. tragic. he's one of the few who actually gives a damn about the people.

MSNBC will hear from me.

[tex-wyo-dem]

16. I totally agree...the mayor of any city should be prepared and held...

accountable for the mobilization of a HUGE evacuation, stop airlines from halting flights, stop AMTRAK from stopping service, getting thousands of buses to transport the poor and sick, single-handidly funding the repair of and shoring up of levees to avert the disaster in the first place, mobilizing the national guard from various states (since a third from your state are in Iraq), coordinating relief centers away from the disaster area, supplying food and water for tens of thousands, evacuating hospitals of all patients, etc. etc. etc.

Naglin should be held accountable...:sarcasm:

[FreeStateDemocrat]

17. Swiftboating of the La. governor & NO mayor will be fierce and potent.

[SiouxJ]

18. First they tried blaming the victims

and when that failed (because WE started pointing out how just plain wrong that was), they turned to this. For ONCE I'd like to see Shrub take responsibility for SOMETHING! Just ONCE!

[Spazito]

19. Latest talking point from the right wing in a pathetic attempt to

save their 'hangin loose' guy. It will fail as have all the previous ones. The proof is out there in video and audio that the local officials requested and then pleaded for help from the beginning.

[kstewart33]

20. Oh, please.

The city government and state government have been pressing Congress for years for the funding to deal with the city's vulnerability to hurricanes. Result: Bush cut the budget badly and FEMA was reduced to a nominal agency.

Nagin has and had no power to get what was needed. But he's the low guy on the totem poll so they're blaming him.

The good thing is that he's loud enough to say exactly what he thinks. He won't take the bullet quietly.

[HereSince1628]

21. Who didn't move city buses near low lying areas to evacuate them?

The city is due its share of the blame, including the mayor. His bitching about the pResident and the federal response notwithstanding.

[KamaAina]

23. RTA is a separate, privatized agency not directly run by the city.

I wonder who, if anyone (mayor? governor?) had the authority to commandeer them?

[bpilgrim]

22. the WINGERS are gonna try and CRUCIFY HIM for his STRAIGHT TALK

and we gotta back him up!

they are already trying to fuck with the time line!

the levees started breaking MONDAY by TUE NO had drowned, by WED they were DYING of THIRST by FRIDAY it was waaaaaaaaaaaay fucking too late, NEVER FORGET!
