My favorite was the Mayor's comments to Tim Russert when asked why the buses were not used.
"We had nobody to drive them." Then I remeber that punk kid that drove the bus with evacuees straight to Houston. Hell, a god damn person in half decent shape can drive a fucking bus! A damn refugee could have been assigned to drive a bus. |

You heard it here first "George Bush hates rednecks." This is evident by the fact that President Bush has yet to activate the Army to move folks out of trailer parks when he knows that a tornado is going to hit. |

Everything is Bush's fault.
I fault Bush not one bit for the handling of any of the NO fiasco. I am concerned though that he is not oging to handle the upcoming spin off events from this well though. Just not his forte. I am concerned that his answer is just going to be larger gov't and more social programs. If that is what results we will end up much worse off. |

I ate a roasted chicken from Wal-Mart and it gave me indigestion that required Alka-Seltzer.
I blame Bush. He should have had the USDA and the FDA investigate the chicken-preparation practices of Wal-Mart BEFORE I GOT HEARTBURN. And no, you smartasses, the chicken wasn't made in China. |

I saw that interview, it was amazing...she did everything she could to dodge the questions. As you listened to the CRAP that was coming out of her mouth, she is completely out of touch with reality!
She only looks on this as an opportunity to make political points, the heck with reality, disregard the people that suffered because of the oncompetence of the Mayor and Governor, all she wants to do is LIE about Bush. Absolutely incredible!

Dude, she's not crazy... the Democrats just don't give a damn and they say whatever they are allowed to get away with. Note that she deftly left the realm of sane commentary as it suited her. First, what do school buses have to do with "mass transit"? Next, did anyone deny the mayor federal reimbursement if he used city funds for some overtime pay? The city would in fact have been repaid. But aren't the lives of the citizens more important than the city budget? And tell me why a supposed lack of federal mass transit funding created disgruntled school bus drivers who would refuse to report to work to help out in a crisis. Finally, the big one... the Mayor NEVER ASKED a single bus driver to come in and save poor people. The Senator just knows it wasn't worth trying. But the federal govt, well they should have been parachuting Airborne Rangers into the driver's seats!!!

"Mayor Nagin and most mayors in this country have a hard time getting their people to work on a sunny day, let alone getting them out of the city in front of a hurricane,"
WTF is she blabbin' about  We just had our annual township celebration. Every LE, FD, civic and sporting club and a bunch of municipal worker was involved. Tents went up, food was served, Kids went on rides. By 7PM it was torn down and every piece of trash was bagged and place in a garbage truck... AND we were NOT facing certain distruction as a reason to mobilize... She  is about as sharp as a ball. |

I was laughing out loud when I heard him say that. So if I understand you correctly Mr. Mayor, you had an excellent, well thought out, and efficient plan in place that was completely derailed because there were no bus drivers available because of the hurricane? Shouldn't that important potential pitfall have been identified in a strategic planning session? What a complete moron he looked like in that interview. |

Did he just say that he is not the only mayor that has an "unmotivated" workforce drawing taxpayer payroll dollars, getting taxpayer paid medical benefits and retiring on taxpayer funded investments? Maybe someone should check into how the inexhaustable taxpayer dollars are being spent Naaaa.......never happen

His IQ level more than likely far exceeds that of the Mayor and Governor!  What about the 5 or 6 that borrowed the Postal Van and were stopped by the Texas Game Wardens? Had they ever recieved training instructing them on how to drive a USPS van?  BigDozer66 |

Yeah, but if it's the city, they have to dot the i's and cross the t's, make sure everything's by the book for liability purposes. I.E., drivers with CDL passenger ratings, up-to-date physical card, CPR/first aid training. If an accident happened and the city-appointed driver wasn't jake in all regards, the city would be on the hook for a lawsuit. Sad but true. I think that's what the mayor meant by not having anyone to drive the buses. A kid can break the law and no one cares under the circumstances, but the city can't have an official policy that flouts the law. |

This is funny. I hadn't heard that. "Sorry we can't use these buses to get you all out of the way of a huge ass hurricane. We can't find people with CDL's to drive them and it would be illegal to have someone to drive them without a CDL. So I guess you will all have to sit at home and drown." lol |

Kindof like the firemen held up in Atlanta for sexual harasment training, you've got policies forced through by touchy-feely idiots and lawyers, and buerocrats who don't have the balls to ignore the BS when its go time. Better to let people die than show some initiative. It's just another example of incompetance and negligence down there. |
