They're drinking the Kool Aid--Blanco and Jefferson Parish pres this mor.

ning.

Blanco and Witt were on CNN, and Blanco was once again in "the response has been great" mode. She and the President are on the same side, :puke: Soledad showed a clip of the mayor saying the president was ready to go immediately on a thing (the federalizing of NG, which Nagin didn't know about), and the governor needed to wait 24 hours, and *that's* when she said the government was a "bit slow" in getting there and she didn't know why.

Mr. Witt said he was good friends with Michael Brown and that his being there did not mean lack of confidence in Michael Brown. He did say he wished FEMA was an independent agency again.

Meanwhile, the Jefferson Parish president was on FOX saying that while he wanted his Congressional delegation to inquire into the late start, he's now getting FEMA and 'wants to look forward'. He said something about blame too--like he wasn't going to blame people.

Lesson here: If you get pissed off on television and flip out, Buschco responds. You can then go back to kissing Bushco's ass.

1. While people are still trapped and dying

they have no choice but to play the game.

I'm sure once the rescue operations are complete, they won't be putting on such a good face for the cameras.

Plus they first hand how vengeful W is. They don't need any more of his vengeance at the moment and it up to Congress to get rid of him, not them.

3. Perhaps, and I guess they're doing what they have to do,

but it seems to me that you don't stop being angry or change your tune entirely just because you have stamped your feet and they had no choice to respond.

I see what you're saying though.

4. That's what I'm thinking.

More innocent people will pay the price if they dare to speak another insulting word against His Chimperial Majesty. They've been gotten to, that's for sure.

5. Please show proof

HS/FEMA was in charge before the storm even hit.

Blanco made the appropriate requests for help and they ignored her. What else was she supposed to do?
