Looney Liberal of the Week: Kathleen Blanco

BATON ROUGE, LA -- This week's award goes to Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco (D). This woman is an idiot because she had the gall to criticize President Bush and FEMA for a slow response to the Hurricane Katrina disaster, after having done everything in her power to prevent a quick response by FEMA, the Federal Government, the Red Cross and the Salvation Army.

The Fox News Channel's Major Garrett has been investigating this story. Among other things, Garrett got confirmation from the head of the Red cross -- on national TV no less -- that the Louisiana State Department of Homeland Security (LDHS) blocked the delivery of relief supplies to the Superdome and the Convention Center. Furthermore, Garrett spoke to senior Salvation Army officials in Washington, D.C. who admitted that the Salvation Army's efforts at supplying the evacuees were also repeatedly blocked. (These two organizations provide relief under the coordination of FEMA). So who does the LA Dept. of Homeland Security report to? Why GOVERNOR KATHLEEN BLANCO, of course.

Garrett also points out that FEMA was prevented from bringing the National Guard into Louisiana because it is not their jurisdiction. Who has to give FEMA jurisdiction? Why GOVERNOR KATHLEEN BLANCO, of course.

Why did Blanco prevent the hungry and thirsty from receiving aid? Because LDHS wanted to get the evacuees out. They thought that the Red Cross and the Salvation Army would make the evacuees "too comfortable". Why did Blanco resist the federalization of the disaster? Because she has an over-inflated ego, and because she's an idiot.
