Damn! You would have to bring up those busses again. Dan and Boutons were hoping they would just go away!
i guess taking over control of school buses wasnt a provision in the Patriot Act
Besides, Dan pointed out that those busses weren't suitable for long distance travel. They didn't have bathrooms and air conditioning. ie....."I don't want to be rescued without all the conviences".
Which leadership are we talking about, Mayor or Governor?
Wouldn't the mayor be in charge of the buses? Bill White is a Democrat.

He is also the mayor of Houston. We're talking about Galveston.
Isn't the Galveston Mayor a Democrat also?
If anything, she's an unaffiliated liberal, I believe.
The Governor is in charge during a disaster...
Then why all the criticism for Nagin?
If anything, the Rita response shows the power of bipartisan teamwork as well as the advantage of learning lessons from a previous disaster. Political exploitation of the two disasters is as irrelevant as it is predictable.
I suppose you could make the same picture saying "Male Leadership" and "Female Leadership".
Because of his "Henny Penny" sky-is-falling approach to emergency management. And, because he was uncooperative with the State Leadership. Trust me, New Orlean's evacuation plan was developed in conjuntion with the State's Emergency Management Office and signed off on by the Governor or her Emergency Management State Coordinator. At that point, it became a state plan. Nagin deserves the jeers for failing to properly execute the State-sanctioned evacuation plan and the State deserves jeers for not making damn sure he did.
I agree to an extent. But, knowing State Emergency Operations as well as I do, I can safely say the Texas Plan was minimally influenced by Katrina. These plans are drawn up over the course of years, then they are drilled and drilled.
Texas didn't go better than Louisiana because they learned from Louisiana's mistakes; Louisiana went worse than Texas because they didn't follow their plan.
Nah, it had nothing to do with Blanco's sex.
and the hurricane was much weaker, and didnt hit such a populated areaTexas didn't go better than Louisiana because they learned from Louisiana's mistakes; Louisiana went worse than Texas because they didn't follow their plan
Texas evacuated more people in less time than did Louisiana -- before the magnitude and landfall location, of the storm was known.
Those buses went from Galveston to Houston - a total of 30 miles! If that's republican leadership, just leave me at home to die in peace. 104 Texans died in the Rita evacuation.
Nice try to spin. The bus evac worked. They where taken to a shelter that had food water and was safe. VS the lack of use by the Democrats in N.O.

Sorry dude this ain't west wing. Your spin attempt has failed.
Assuming 2.5 million people evacuated, that's a death rate of 0.0000416.
The national death rate is 0.00825.
Try again.
oh so the hurricane saved peoples lives
Umm,no.Damn! You would have to bring up those busses again. Dan and Boutons were hoping they would just go away!
I have already explained that the N.O. buses were not owned by Mayor Nagin but by the NO Parish school district. About one third of the buses in the picture(what about the buses?) were not working, 78-300 to be exact. There was no regional plan in place to secure drivers, a safe passage out of the city, or even gas for these buses. Two days before Katrina struck Mayor Nagin asked FEMA for 700 commercial buses to evacuate the old, sick, and feeble - he got 100.
And it looks like the bus that burned up with all of those people in it was one of the nice ones with a/c & a toilet.
????
"dead or alive"
"WmD"
blah,blah,blah!
$200 billion of tax payer money to pay for N.O.
There's no leadership!
its like Glenn Beck said this morning: its like walking to the soft drink isle and all you find is Coke and Pepsi. One is sweeter than the other but their both colas and full of gas!
Your assumming a lot. It's not like natural death just magically stopped in Houston because a few people evacuated. These are the deaths directly attributed to just Rita.
We are expecting 12,000 new survivors of Rita in the next couple of days... So Texas is still workin'..
Dan get off your Neolib ass and do something... Go to East texas and save the people.. let them touch those things just once...
once you get on that bus
youre immortal
Yes, and after the Republican leadership were shamed into acting in NO by the national media, NO local officials finally received the commericial buses they requested before the storm to evacuate the convention center and Superdome, so what?And it looks like the bus that burned up with all of those people in it was one of the nice ones with a/c & a toilet.
