THE BLAME GAME

Naturally, Bush's critics want to make this into a major issue in the run-up to the 2006 mid-term elections next fall. But the reality is more complex than the Bush Blamers will admit. They want you to believe that inadequate flood-control protections became a problem only after Bush took office. However, the New Orleans Times-Picayune has written numerous articles over the years describing the threat posed by inadequate funding for flood-control measures. Many of these articles, such as the one authored by Pam Louwagie on June 1, 1999 (see extended entry), appeared well before President Bush took office.

The Times-Picayune's articles make clear that throughout much of the 1990s, officials in Louisiana couldn't come up with state money needed to match federal funds. The resignation of Rep. Bob Livingston in December 1998 didn't help. (Livingston was chairman of the House Appropriations Committee; federal funding for flood control projects was one of his pet projects.) Nor did environmental laws, such as the Migratory Bird Act of 1918. (Construction on a hurricane protection levee in St. Charles Parish was halted for months because a great egret nesting area sat in the levee's path.)

One of Bush's critics cited a February 16, 2004, New Orleans CityBusiness article. That critic, however, chose not to excerpt these two sentences: "The Corps' New Orleans district in 2003 spent about $409 million on construction contracts, dredging and maintenance for the state's waterways, real estate purchases, private sector design contracts and in-house expenditures, according to the Corps. That more than doubles the $200 million the district spent in 1991."

1. she looks like that creature in one of the Alien movies

moving in for the kill. She is fucking nuts isn't she?

Christ on a crutch, look at that face! Nuts.

5. What the hell is she doing?

Is a second mouth going to appear from the first one? If so, it'd have plenty of room.

9. YOU ARE RIGHT!

10. I admit the movie was on when I saw this

it was on in the background. Why this woman is always so damn angry is a mystery to me. Her nonsensical rantings are always half-fiction and half crazy twists on facts. She's got a good income and whatever time she desires on tv for her rants. You think she would not be so insanely angry all the time


Good scree capture and photshop though!!

11. Christ! Don't do that!

That was f-ing hilarious though

2. She's an ugly half-human Republican

besides missing the empathy gene -- she is ugly from the inside out.

3. I just saw the shameless hag on the O'Riely non"Factor"

following the repuglicant talking points to a T.... I truly do not understand how people like her get a job anywhere or get through college for that matter???

4. Howler Monkey!

6. These are the same points

That some "researcher" produced on the Luara Ingram show today. This is round two of smear, smear, smear amidst the complicity of the MSM and the silence of the opposition.

7. Where are the comments about the article? All I see is

comments about her looks. Juvenile IMHO.

12. there's blame to go around

I don't see why it's Clinton's fault that LA couldn't come up with its share of funds for the levees tho. The environmental laws holding up building the levees is a ridiculous argument too. No one could have envisioned that as a side effect. However, when Bush gutted the Army CoE and FEMA AND the national guard, any idiot could have told you the results that would have on disaster preparedness. He was the one who sat on his hands when all hell finally broke loose as well. Theres no excuse for the amount of glibness and self-congratulations that came out of the white house that first week. none at all

8. So much for not the time to place blame.

What a skank.
