Katrina Part 58

Ok, so now we've got a video showing how Chimpy McHitler KNEW the levees would fail and did, of course, nothing because, hey, it would only be poor minorities getting flooded.

Yep, right there in the transcript it says

"The Superdome is about 12 feet below sea level.... I don't know whether the roof is designed to stand, withstand a Category Five hurricane," he said.

Pretty damning. Here are these specific warnings about what would happen if a CAT 5 storm hits NOLA, and they were seemingly ignored. I'm sure the MSM will have an orgy with this...and conveniently forget these other minor details:

1) Katrina was only CAT 3 at landfall.

2) Katrina made landfall east of NOLA, and if you've got to be near where a hurricane comes ashore, you definately want to be on the western side of it, as the winds are weaker there and the surge is much less.

Now, if I went to bed fearing a CAT 5 landing on top of me, and woke to find a CAT3 coming ashore east of me, I would relax a bit too.
Were there mistakes made? Sure. But this continual blaming of the Federal government for all the problems is ridiculous. It is clear that the State and local governments dropped the ball, but politicians with a (D) next to their names seem to get a pass.

Can you imagine the outcry had Emperor McChimpatine actually unfurled his Invincible Shield of Halliburtine Armor and redirected the storm away from New Orleans, which he clearly could have done?

Geesh.

If Chimpy had sent the Feds in from the get-go, all the"d"s would have been screaming Federalism bloody murder, holding it up as proof of Chimpys imperial ambitions. They all need to STFU.

Did 'Sader just say 'STFU'?

No, he typed that too.

Yup. 'Bout sick of the leftoid whiners here at work moaning about evil Chimpy and how he screwed up NO/Katrina. All I get is grumbles and blank stares when I tell them to check and see whose job it was to ask/ request the help. And what letter (D or R) is behind their name. Morons, and I'm tired of hearing it.....

Why does Ray Nagin hate black people?
