#1 She did? I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you!

(That she didn't do her house with taxpayers' money, too.)

#3 She may well have been right to do this - the bid contract was probably 'rigged' to favor some crony, who would have successfully sued if the state reneged, and then we'd have spent the money and more, and not even gotten a remodeling with Swedish granite countertops.

#5 It's important that dedicated government employees, who sacrifice so much to serve, get some small benefit such as a pleasent place to work. Otherwise, the government would be peopled with crooks and scoundrels.

#6 I forget who it was here who said it first, but it's just a quagmire... the feds have been here since shortly after the storm, but Nagin and Blanco have still managed to elude capture...

#7 ROFL, Phil!

Hopefully the Feds run them to ground eventually. Have they tried looking in Jamaica? Dallas? Las Vegas? ;-p

#8 With so many hurt by her corruption and greed I find it interesting that nobody has taken action of anykind (legal or otherwise) against her.

Something is really strange in Louisiana. Parts of the story are missing to those of us from the north.
