"… is faced with some of the most incredible, incredible stupid, ignorant regulations by FEMA. They have turned generators away from us. They´ve turned fuel away from us because they determine, or the driver determined, that it wasn´t the correct spot to put it. The generators … oh, the site hadn´t been inspected yet. We´ve gotta bring an inspector to see where the thing is going. You know, bring me generators. We in a catastrophic situation, and that is absolutely incredible. We have heard that FEMA or some federal agencies are going around seizing equipment from our contractors, etc. If they do that, they´d better bring weapons, because I´ll be goddamned if I´m gonna give anything up to a bunch of feds coming in, and we in a catastrophic situation, and taking our stuff. And I am really pissed off and I´m getting tired of this. They need to start doing things that make sense and quit all this horse shit that doesn´t mean a damn thing to anybody except some bureaucrat in Washington."

4. My 9 year old and 11 year old would provide ...

better direction and coordination than the jack asses at FEMA have.

This would be laughable except for the fact that FEMA has KILLED countless people through their incompetence.


Thank you for your leadership George W. Bush :sarcasm:

8. Will the Freepers portray the Mayor of Slidell as "ranting like a child"

Or a "potty mouth" as the outrageous, murderous "Christian" fanatics have labelled Mayor Nagin? Was it also the mayor of Slidell's fault that Slidell is a wasteland? Will the bullshit emanating from the incompetent conservative movement fanatics never cease? Stay tuned for report.

6. Relief efforts in Mississippi and Alabama............

have been botched almost as badly as the recovery of New Orleans. The difference is that Mississippi and Alabama have repuke governors that are covering for *co.

They're putting a happy face on the situation and carrying water for *.

[Old and In the Way]

10. Absolutely correct.

National Media is pretty focused in NO, but I suspect that there are just as many horror stories in Mississippi/Alabama that are not getting attention. Barbour/Bush are obviously covering each other's backsides on this disaster.
