This just floored me, I couldn’t believe it was true until I read it on the New Orleans Times Picayune website.
HERE
is the money paragraph: scroll down to “Landrieu blasts FEMA”
“Touring this critical site yesterday with the President, I saw what I believed to be a real and significant effort to get a handle on a major cause of this catastrophe. Flying over this critical spot again this morning, less than 24 hours later, it became apparent that yesterday we witnessed a hastily prepared stage set for a presidential photo opportunity; and the desperately needed resources we saw were this morning reduced to a single, lonely piece of equipment. The good and decent people of southeast Louisiana and the Gulf Coast – black and white, rich and poor, young and old – deserve far better from their national government,” Landrieu said.
Will this get lost in all the Rehnquist coverage? America needs to get wind of this.
