Red Cross Delay Blanco Gate
Governor Blanco is making FEMA Under Secretary Mike Brown look good (and that’s saying something since FEMA doesn’t know the difference between Charleston, South Carolina and Charleston, West Virginia).
• Keep The Red Cross Away From People In Need.
Fox News reports the Red Cross was kept from providing food, water and hygiene items to people in both the Superdome and New Orleans Convention Center by Governor Blanco.
RadioBlogger transcribes Fox News Major Garrett discussing the details with Hugh Hewitt.
Is anything unbelievable anymore?
Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit points to Blanco Gate as well (while also asking for Brown’s head).
John Hinderaker of PowerLine counsels:
The Democrats may need to re-think their calls for an investigation.
Paul at Wizbang! is writing history.
The Anchoress is dumbfounded and notes Betsy Newmark caught Instapundit saying virtually the same thing three days ago — although Major Garrett’s new findings highlight just how close food and water were to people in need but Governor Blanco Just Said No.
Right Wing News notes the proximity of food and water from the transcript:
At the very moment that Ray Nagin, the Mayor of New Orleans was screaming where’s the food, where’s the water, it was over the overpass, and state officials were saying you can’t come in.
Ed Morrissey of Captain’s Quarters observes:
It’s also worth noting that the Red Cross gets more access to the detainees at Guantanamo Bay than the people still stuck inside New Orleans.
• ”The Governor, That Would Be Me.”
Mayor, Governor at Odds Over Evacuation.
“The mayor certainly has ordered that but the governor, and that would be me, would have to enforce it or implement it. We are trying to determine whether there is an absolute justification for that,” [Blanco] told Fox News.
Do these two only talk to each other via the Legacy Media?
It would be a great comedy road show if it didn’t effect thousands of people.
The Anchoress laments the Dithering Governor.
Donald Sensing counts four strikes against Mayor Nagin.
In baseball, he’s outa there at three. Hizzoner is making farce comedy, or comedy farce. I have no idea which anymore.
My earlier thoughts on Bus Gate Deadly Negligence.
• Last Observation.
We all know that the actions of local, state and federal government executive branches have not been ideal.
Whose idea was it to put FEMA under the Department of Homeland Security but is now complaining?
Congress.
Will we investigate Congress?
Have we ever?
But, again, it’s all W’s fault.
