Yeah, and all you people down there in Loosiana want to pass the buck and put
the blame on George W and FEMA when it was incompetent voters who elected the
mayor and elected the governor - both of whom are abject failures in relation
to their jobs.  THEIRS was the responsibility to initiate whatever measures
were needs to save lives and protect that city.  But none of you all will hold
them to account, and if any of us try to do so, you'll defend them till hell
freezes over.

You don't deserve any help as far as I'm concerned.  You elected those clowns
and can't or won't hold them responsible, so you deserve whatever you get.
