September 7, 2005Gov. Blanco still dithering…I’m sorry but this lady’s indecisiveness is very alarming: As floodwaters caused by Hurricane Katrina began to slowly recede with the ruined city’s first pumps returning to operation, Nagin late Tuesday authorized law enforcement officers to force the evacuation of the estimated 10,000 residents who refuse to heed orders to leave. But in a Wednesday interview with FOX News, Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco said she had not signed off on the decision. “The mayor certainly has ordered that but the governor, and that would be me, would have to enforce it or implement it. We are trying to determine whether there is an absolute justification for that,” she told FOX News. “I think the most important thing driving that decision would be the possibility of disease. If indeed the disease problem is evident, is inevitable, we’ll have to move to the next stage,” she said. What? Say WHAT? There is a problem, here, with the Governor of Louisiana, who fiddles and fiddles before she cries, but refuses to let anyone else take the reins. After reading this, I don’t want to hear another freaking word about how tardy the feds were. They could have done better? Sure, fine - they could have done better - everything could have been better! But this woman is in the thick of it - she is in charge, as she has been from the start - as she clearly WANTS to be. Yet she’s still trying to figure out the basic, common sense stuff. And she still won’t let the feds take this enormous - clearly too large for her - duty off her back! And btw - I wasn’t going to bring this up, but I cannot help but wonder which party made the sexual harrassment training mandatory, here? Somehow, I really, really doubt that this red-tape silliness originated on the right. UPDATE: Jimmie Bise’s head just exploded. http://theanchoressonline.com/2005/09/07/gov-blanco-still-dithering/trackback/ 8 Responses to “Gov. Blanco still dithering…” |

She’s another Franken-phoney. All talk, no substance- and people get hurt in the process.

Did you see that Major Garrett, from Fox News, is reporting that sources from the Red Cross told him that “the Red Cross was blocked from delivering supplies to the Superdome . . . the Louisiana Department of Homeland Security, that is the state agency responsible for that state’s homeland security, told the Red Cross explicitly, you cannot come.”

That is criminal.

Governor and Mayor at it again over the evacuation
Can this situation get any more bizarre? Or should I say inept? At odds over the evacuation of New Orleans? A city in complete disarray and there is a question still of whether to evacuate.
Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco seemed at odds with New Orl…

Red Cross Delay Blanco Gate
Governor Blanco is making FEMA Under Secretary Mike Brown look good (and that’s saying something since FEMA doesn’t know the difference between Charleston, South Carolina and Charleston, West Virginia)….
