"Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco, blamed by the former leader of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin for many of the city's post-hurricane problems, was given no questions about her response to Hurricane Katrina when she appeared before a Senate committee to plead for more federal money.
She asked not to be questioned about it and the senators agreed.
Mrs. Blanco, a Democrat, was invited by the Senate Finance Committee to respond to charges by former FEMA Director Michael D. Brown, who the day before called Louisiana officials "dysfunctional" in handling the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
"Today, I came really to talk about job creation," she said.
Later, she told reporters, "The facts will speak for themselves. I will tell our story when the time is appropriate."
Boy, does this sound familiar?
After being Impeached for lying his ass off Clinton responded:
"We need to move beyond partisanship and get on with the business of the country"
No questions. Actually, none needed because the 'story' is already told, to wit:
Blanco's an idiot.
Sad fact is that Republican's allowed this "no questions please". More examples of "Wolves in Sheeps Clothing" Are we ready for 2006/08 or what?
