#5 "They did [have] a hundred thousand people left in the city because this federal government won't support cities to evacuate people... And that's the truth."

Given what we now know, how can anybody come to that conclusion? Even shameless exploitation or shifting of blame can't explain this outright lie. I truly believe these people are delusional.

#9 I saw Sen. Landrieu's Fox interview and it was bizarre. Questions and answers were even more disconnected than previously seen from Lousiana politicians. Video link here.

#17 3dc, LOLOLOL!!
I must admit, though, I met Connie the Short Bus Lady when she was living in a short bus converted to a motor home. Now she lives at the Deacon Blues Pork Palce, Potables Parlour, and Home for Wayward Animals and Women.

#18 It was the Bush administration's fault that hundreds of city school buses weren't dispatched to evacuate the hurricane-battered residents of New Orleans two weeks ago before floods swamped the city, Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu said Sunday. Asked on "Fox News Sunday" why New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin failed to follow the city's evacuation plan and press the buses into service, Landrieu blamed Bush administration cuts in mass transit funding.

Why would mass transit money be used on school buses??

#19 Yes B-A-R

Its known in Louisiana as Hollywood bookkeeping. Just like all that federal Homeland Security money sorta didn't make it into the hands of local officials who knew what the hell they were suppose to do. The same model employed by the former governor of New Jersey.

#20 I really wish the 'locals' would get their stories straight on why the emergency plans weren't followed.

First it was that most of the school-bus drivers were women, and they didn't want to expose them to danger.

Next it was Mayor Nagin dissing school buses and holding out for Greyhounds.

Then, according to NO's emergency director, it was that the city had no intention enacting the plan to use buses (Sept 12 WaPo).

Now it's because mass transit money had been cut.

What next?
