Weren't enough buses for everyone, Jack. And those who could leave, did. Those who couldn't did exactly as they were told by the mayor to go to the Superdome, where he was told that FEMA would be comin' directly. Oops.

That just ain't true. Not even close. Unless you meant he did so after the mayor and the governor and, hell, after the storm.

Nobody wanted the National Guard. It's all about FEMA, the hurricane being an emergency that needed management and all.

I've read about it. And now seems like a wonderful time to play the blame game. Gotta strike while the iron's hot, yanno? Pretty soon the Republican spin machine will be in full operating order and no one will be able to get the truth in edgewise.

But hey, I am proud of you for actually having something to say. Now we just gotta work on that pesky fact thing.
