WWL guy on MSNBC calls Gustav a "massive storm." Bullcrap. |

Since when does a 115 MPH Hurricane qualify as "massive"? Simultaneously, the crawler on the bottom of the screen quotes Nagin calling Gustav "the storm of the century." This happened at 2:15 AM Monday morning, when both claims were obvious bullshit. Why would MSNBC push this crap? Trying to frame a narrative starring the great Jindal and the great GOP? Maybe...But probably just because they're stupid.

4. No doubt, but it's not a particularly uncommon event.... |
|
I'm in Baton Rouge, by the way, and do expect to and fear getting roughed up a bit. And there's no doubt that this COULD have been a castastrophe. But it's not going to be much more than an average hurricane, yet the MSM will still frame it as a catastrophe that was averted BY Jindal and the GOP.

8. It was a Cat 2 and still we can see that if this storm had actually hit |
|
NOLA head on and was a Cat 3 or 4, the city would be done in. During the strike they had, the levies and water was quite high.. didn't look all that good.

2. This is MSM media hype. Like saying McCain is a viable candidate. |
|
And Palin knows how many children she has.
