I remember it well, because I posted it, right after I heard the news on CNN. It surprised me, because all the previous reports had said that New Orleans had been spared. And when did I post this sad news? Monday afternoon? Monday night? >>DlandDug Tue 8/30/2005 12:44p New Orleans has been declared uninhabitable by the Mayor. (CNN went so far as to use the words "dead city" a few minutes ago.) He has ordered a complete evacuation. There's no electricity, no water, and no food. 80% of the city is submerged. Only one radio station is functioning. The situation is becoming grimmer by the minute. Water is now around the Super Dome, which is holding thousands of people. The City of New Orleans will be altered by this event. <<

But... let's put all the blame on Bush for the disaster that is post-Katrina New Orleans.

Hey libs... the second the story morphs into Bush Lied!, you know it is close to being a distant memory.

Originally Posted By Beaumandy Well, the media has turned Katrina into a Bush Lied! story, so it's now close to the point where the libs run from the " scandal " because the public is starting to get feisty about the misinformation.

It's what Bush has to put up with while he is trying to keep the country safe and keep the ecomomy rolling along. (
