#6  "Every person, even if they don't care to admit it, knows in their gut we would have seen a much different federal response if Hurricane Katrina had happened under (Clinton's) watch," Blanco said.

Yeah...Slick Willie would've bit his lower lip for the cameras saying that he felt their pain while Monica was below-desk polishing his helmet.

#5  Depot Guy, by my estimate the Katrina evacuation and rescue was the largest in American history - and possibly second only to Dunkirk in any history.

And that's easy to say because we'll never know.
Hillary's losing, Kathy. You're kissing the wrong ass...

#2  Â“ She said Louisiana called for federal assistance but did not get it for five days.”

Yeah..the Feds let you down alrightÂ… you wretched ingrate. Maybe itÂ’s not politically expedient right now but perhaps you might remember this little historical foot note.

At the height of rescue operations, the US Coast Guard had at least 62 aircraft, 30 cutters and 111 small boats assisting in rescue and recovery operations. Approximately one-third of the Coast GuardÂ’s entire air fleet was deployed to the region to support rescue operations in the immediate aftermath of the storm. More than 5,290 Coast Guard personnel conducted search-and-rescue operations, waterway reconstitution and environmental assessment operations. More than 400 Coast Guard reservists were recalled to active duty.

By Sept. 11, 2005, the Coast Guard had rescued more than 24,000 people and assisted with the joint-agency evacuation of an additional 9,400 patients and medical personnel from hospitals in the Gulf coast region. More than 33,520 lives were saved and evacuated, including:

o 12,533 lives saved by air resources
o 11,584 lives saved by surface resources
o 9,403 patients evacuated from hospital

Go to hell Ex-governor…and take Johnny “2 Americas” with you!

#1  Losers like Blanco always have to have somebody to blame for their failures. Keep digging, Kathy.
