and replaced ASAP. There was no reason she couldn't have just said give me everything you got with noteing" Mill, Gov, Agency's". She would have gotton it. Marines can be just about anywhere in pretty large numbers in 24hours. She just failed to make the call. wolf |

It would not surprise me if the LA governor spent many hours in conference calls with the democratic senators to determine the best way to maneuver the political landscape of this clusterf*ck while simultaneously making the republican administration look bad. She should have put the politics on a shelf and looked out for her people. |

+1 It is amazing that in light of a disaster of this size, the people who need to respond to their states time of need fail. When you see the mayor and the Govenor slandering the President. That is unsat. They are in charge of their respective cities and state. Destructive weather is nothing new to that region and that is why they are the elected officals. They are supposed to take care of their people. Here is how Mayor Max would of thought this through. 1. Activate the National Guard and establish a COC or Command and Control center. 2. Issue orders to all of the mayors, chief of police of all towns and establish food sites, emergency medical treatment and also how to keep law and order. 3. Contact surrounding states and ask for them to have assistance on standby. IE National Guard, food, water, busses etc... 4. Contact the Federal Govt and ask for financial and manpower assistance. 5. Use the media as a tool to issue orders and to get accountability. Thats just for starter. Max |

 Kill him? Even IF Bush was such a person, and even IF Christians In Action would go along with it, there is no way anybody on the Repub. side would want him dead. Every disaster has to have a fall guy, and he's it and deservedly so. No. His fate, along with that worthless governor is going to be going before the Congressional "Katrina" commission to take a public whipping. |

Compare and contrast with actions of San Francisco Mayor, PD and FD.
April 18, 1906 San Francisco was wrecked by a Great Earthquake at 5:13 a.m., and then destroyed by the seventh Great Fire that burned for four days. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of trapped persons died when South-of-Market tenements collapsed as the ground liquefied beneath them. Most of those buildings immediately caught fire, and trapped victims could not be rescued. Reevaluation of the 1906 data, during the 1980s, placed the total earthquake death toll at more than 3,000 from all causes. Damage was estimated at $500,000,000 in 1906 dollars. Fire Chief Engineer Dennis T. Sullivan was mortally wounded when the dome of the California Theatre and hotel crashed through the fire station in which he was living at 410-412 Bush St. Acting Chief Engineer John Dougherty commanded fire operations. The earthquake shock was felt from Coos Bay, Oregon, to Los Angeles, and as far east as central Nevada, an area of about 375,000 square miles, approximately half of which was in the Pacific Ocean. The region of destructive effect extended from the southern part of Fresno County to Eureka, about 400 miles, and for a distance of 25 to 30 miles on either side of the fault zone. The distribution of intensity within the region of destruction was uneven. Of course, all structures standing on or crossing the rift were destroyed or badly damaged. Many trees standing near the fault were either uprooted or broken off. Perhaps the most marked destruction of trees was near Loma Prieta in Santa Cruz County, where, according to Dr. John C. Branner of Stanford University, “The forest looked as though a swath had been cut through it two hundred feet in width.” In little less than a mile he counted 345 earthquake cracks running in all directions. U.S. Post Office at Seventh and Mission sts. was dreadfully damaged by the earthquake. Assistant to the Postmaster Burke said, “walls had been thrown into the middle of various rooms, destroying furniture and covering everything with dust. In the main corridors the marble was split and cracked, while the mosaics were shattered and had come rattling down upon the floor. Chandeliers were rent and twisted by falling arches and ceilings.” Fireman James O’Neill, drawing water for the horses in Fire Station No. 4 on Howard Street opposite Hawthorne, was killed when a wall of the American Hotel collapsed onto the fire station. Police officer Max Fenner was mortally wounded when a wall collapsed upon him at 138 Mason Street. All telephone and telegraph communications stopped within the city, although some commercial telegraph circuits to New York and to India, via the Pacific cable at the Ocean Beach, remained in temporary operation. A messenger arrived at Ft. Mason at 6:30 a.m. with orders from Gen. Funston to send all available troops to report to the mayor at the Hall of Justice. First army troops from Fort Mason reported to Mayor Schmitz at the Hall of Justice around 7 a.m. At 8 a.m., the 10th, 29th, 38th, 66th, 67th, 70th and 105th Companies of Coast Artillery, Troops I and K of the 14th Cavalry and the First, Ninth and 24th Batteries of Field Artillery arrived Downtown to take up patrol. Seventy-five soldiers from Companies C and D, Engineer Corps were assigned to the Financial District at 8 a.m., and another 75 along Market from Third Street to the City Hall at Grove and Larkin streets. A major aftershock struck at 8:14 a.m., and caused the collapse of many damaged buildings. There was much panic. Second day session of the Grand Chapter of the Royal Arch Masons of the state of California fifty-second annual convocation. The group met after the earthquake but evacuated before the temple at Montgomery and Post streets was destroyed by fire. The Masons listed the date as April 18, A.I. 2436, A.D. At 10 a.m. Headquarters and First Battalion 22nd Infantry, were brought from Ft. McDowell by boat, and were held for a time in reserve at O’Farrell St. They were later utilized as patrols and to assist the fire department. At about 10:05 a.m. the DeForest Wireless Telegraph Station at San Diego radioed press reports of the disaster at San Francisco to the “U.S.S. Chicago.” Admiral Caspar Goodrich immediately ordered fires started under all boilers, and after a confirmation message from the Mayor of San Diego, the “Chicago” steamed at full speed for San Francisco. It was the first time wireless telegraphy was used in a major natural disaster. At 10:30 a.m., the “U.S.S. Preble” from Mare Island, under the command of Lt. Frederick Newton Freeman, landed a hospital shore party at the foot of Howard St. to help the wounded and dying who sought help at Harbor Emergency Hospital. Mayor Schmitz was a political cypher, a corrupt tool of special interests. However, he rose to the challenge and was one of the strongpoints around which the recovery was centered. He immediately did what was right with no concern to the effect on his patrons. I would expect that this Mayor need to be worried about somebody from the city taking him out. |

Crank and whores. But he will get reelected. The people that elected him think it is the responsibility of the Federal Government to act without call...when they need it. Now if Congress had been in session and voted for sending troops in Sunday (a week ago), the mayor and governor would be calling this racist ot some other shit. Act dumb and they get Federal Funds. |

He's meerly a reflection of the people who elected him - as is all the leadership of New Orleans and the State of Louisiana...........granted there are good people there who vote for good candidates........but the Louisiana Governor and Major of New Orleans simply show us the effect of elected scumbags for office. You get what you pay for - crisis or not - they have no mental capacity to lead anything. I only feel for the truly innocent victims in all this - and there are plenty of them. The social parasites who are breaking the law left and right can rot and die. Nor do I feel concerned about the mostly corrupt government there. But its a sad day for the innocent people who for some credible reason could not evacuate - and also the smart ones who evacuated and lost everything. Prior to the hurricane, New Orleans was still top on my list of "cities not to live in". A lot of people inadvertently chose their fate

Yep.. To me it means you will be slipping out of town( out of US) you coward... He didn't use city assets to evacuate people before the storm. While the SOB was willing to take cars, home and property from private individuals to get people out of town or put up people in during and after the stom. All those assets are underwater. He had the city assets left behind to be flooded and destroyed by Katrina, and then to be replaced by FEMA after the storm. Where are the Buses that could have save alot of peoples lives before the storm?  |

The guy clearly had a nervous breakdown. He lost it completely due to:
1. Being who he is 2. Complete and utter lack of planning at the City and State level. For Gods sakes, it's a seaside town below sea level. Katrina was the worst case scenario come true and they had no plans in place to handle it. The STATE government should have had everything spelled out so that any dipshit mayor could follow a list of "to-do" items. No thinking, just start going down the friggin' list. |
