When Zero Is Greater Than 2000 One number Al Franken isn't interested in.  It wasn't 2000 buses.  Was it 1000, was it 700 or 200?  How many were under water?  Hey Al, how many of them were used?   ZERO Al Franken, of Big Fat Idiot / Liar Fame says: Debunking the Right. For more about the items we discussed with David Brock of <a href="htt://www.mediamatters.org/" target="_self">Media Matters, use the links below: 2,000 buses?  ABC's Stephanopoulos repeated school bus falsehood spread by Pruden, Hannity, and Gingrich.   [The Al Franken Show | Air America Radio -] 4:57:53 PM    comment [] trackback []

Useful Idiots Focus On Impeachment, Not Katrina Victims Right on que, this is what the rabid left at democrats.com have to say.  'Impeach Bush Now!' I think the latest polls show that the useful idiots amount to about 7% of all democrats, yet that's who is running that party. Responsibility Has Consequences   "To the extent that the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility." - George W. Bush   Impeach Bush Now! Yeah right.  Right after the entire Louisiana chain of command gets impeached, fired, or quits.  Mayor Nagin, Louisiana State Department of Homeland Security head MG Bennett, Louisiana Lt. Governor Mitch Landrieu, Governor Kathleen Blanco. then Senator Mary Landrieu. Landrieu and Landrieu. It's all in the family in Louisiana. Keep a sharp eye on where the reconstruction dollars get shuffled. Not unlike where all the Army Corp of Engineer construction dollars went. Her brother the Lt. Governor is into construction companies, as I understand. 3:45:18 PM    comment [] trackback []

Why Katrina Will Make Us Stonger Jack Welch examines the 5 stages of crisis management and how it applies to hurricane Katrina.  The first stage of that pattern is denial. The problem isn't that bad, the thinking usually goes, it can't be, because bad things don't happen here, to us. The second is containment. This is the stage where people, including perfectly capable leaders, try to make the problem disappear by giving it to someone else to solve. The third stage is shame-mongering, in which all parties with a stake in the problem enter into a frantic dance of self-defense, assigning blame and claiming credit. Fourth comes blood on the floor. In just about every crisis, a high profile person pays with his job, and sometimes he takes a crowd with him. In the fifth and final stage, the crisis gets fixed and, despite prophesies of permanent doom, life goes on, usually for the better. 12:37:26 AM    comment [] trackback []

Governor Kathleen Blanco On TV Has anyone noticed that of all the states hit by Katrina, it is the Louisiana delegation that is jumping in front of TV cameras to bellyache, complain, and most importantly, accuse others for their problems? By any comparison it seems that MS and AL are busy doing what needs to be done.  Now Gov. Kathleen Blanco is complaining about the morgue situation and handling or not handling of the casualties. There hasn't been one single step in this recovery process that these people have not complained in front of a TV camera only to point the finger at anyone and everyone in the Bush administration. The squeaky wheel is making a flying fool out of herself under the very worst of circumstances. It is evident that the "the government is going to take care of me" attitude goes all the way to the top of Louisiana state government. The people of LA and the rest of the country would much rather discover that Kathleen Blanco will pick up the phone and speak to whoever it is she is expecting something from, deal with the problem, and get something done for her people. No one is favorably impressed the finger pointing, whining, complaining, and campaigning over this tragedy. 12:18:05 AM    comment [] trackback []
