This shows you the value of being GWB's roomate as opposed to just the roomate of a friend. Sorry, sucka!

By the way, Bush had the option of ordering the airlines to stay in the air and the New Orleans airport to have stayed open when it closed two days before the storm. The airlines didn't want to fly because their planes were empty going in, even if they were full going out.

Let's see. Assume the airport could have handled 20 planes an hour for 18 hours on just one day. That's 360 planes. Now lets assume they hold 150 people each (roughly the average capacity of planes in Delta's fleet). That's 54,000 people. On one day. Without crowding.

Instead, the planes left the city.

What about the Planes! What about the Planes!

Bush couldn't call an evacuation. Nagin was managing the logistics on the ground and was the best person for the job. Plus the 2000 plan didn't call for planes, it called for buses.

Short of Pat Robertson or Tom Delay, any Republican in 08 will be a stronger candidate than Bush in 00 or 04. Who do you propose to run, since your best and brightest couldn't beat Bush? Short of resurrecting Roosevelt, I don't see that you have a chance. Good luck with tilting that Windmill though.

3-5 Dem Senators will be out of office by early '07, so they'll be available.

Fucking apologist. He's sitting in DC canning his lackeys for cover.

Bush has specific powers to take control of the air travel system in disasters. He chose not to use it.

What about the planes, Penske, what about the planes?

Can we all stop about the blame/evacuation for 1 week? Let the argument go, if it has traction it will come back.

Too bad you didn't post that plea earlier in the week, before we were all subjected to countless Penske rants and Photoshopped images of buses.

Remind me, when was the last time a senator won the Presidency?

You wail on for days about the buses. First I want to hear your OUTRAGE over the planes. WHERE'S THE OUTRAGE?

Bush is sitting in DC canning his lackeys to gain cover, and you guys are here playing stooges and diverting blame, WHEN HE HAD THE POWER TO LET PEOPLE GET OUT.

Listen to the TV. People who WANTED TO GET OUT didn't because the airport was closed. THEY WERE THERE BECAUSE OF BUSH.

LET'S HEAR THE OUTRAGE.

But, I know, you're giving him a free pass because he's an R. You, Spanky, Penske and your crew. Come on guys, let's hear the outrage!

He had no power to get people to the planes, assuming what you are saying is true. Plus it would have contradicted the plan of the State of Louisiana regarding evacuation and Blanco was not interested in having the Feds supersede her authority; but keep defending Nagin, it just guarantees our continued rule.

Ok. Penske. Green light. I have your back.

Now I know how Bush felt after working to be more bi-partisan.

PS- Rt we both know who this is, and we both know he would stop if you asked.

Yes, when they bring Nagin to the hearings in shackles.
