FEMA says gulf states governors STILL not allowing donated
generators and other equipment into their states. That's right -- FEMA is saying that the governors (plural, not just Blanco) are PREVENTING these life-saving items from being delivered to the victims and the rescuers. I just heard it 5 minutes ago on NPR.

And FEMA's Baghdad Bob listens to President Fuckwad.

So, what are we going to do?

Does anyone STILL believe this is not planned genocide?

Hmmmm?

Listen to the audio link (transcript below)

http://www.godlikeproductions.com/scans/MayorBenMorris....


"… 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."

8. It's an obvious lie. No governor would turn down this equipment!
But why are our leaders letting FEMA get away with the lie?

Or is FEMA doing what Bush tells them?

I'm so angry I could spit tacks.

10. Of course they are lying. And the Governors need to call Bush and raise
holy hell.

And they need to have a joint press conference and tell the world that FEMA is putting up roadblocks intended to let more people die.

9. FEMA is full of shit!
I've been listening to the local mayors down in LA screaming that generators would arive and FEMA would say "I haven't inspected these so send them back"...

I'll tell you, I believe these people on the ground more than FEMA! As of 3pm yesterday, the Mayor of the St. Bernard Parish said he had not yet been contacted by FEMA concerning his parish. YESTERDAY!

The FEMA people are in spin mode...

13. He could deflect blame by allowing the equipment in. He is still
putting up roadblocks. I cannot believe he has not been pulled off his post.

* is blindly loyal to his fellow graverobbers.
