The gumbo people (Katrina)


CODE NAME: LONE WOLF

My Lord!--last week, Louisiana's two senators didn't even blink when they asked the federales for $250 billion for their state, following Katrina.

Nawlins is a state that simply doesn't care about anything but money and power. Ten years ago I saw documentaries on A&E about Louisiana corruption; I thought, "That can't be true!" But it was. And it is.

Louisiana political and police corruption ranks right up there with Mexico City! During Katrina, Virginia and I saw with our own eyes armed Louisiana police looting Walmart stores in front of live MSNBC cameras! They didn't care!

The likelihood of the gumbo people of New Orleans choosing to clean up the corrupt political and police culture they've endorsed for decades is about as realistic as Fidel Castro taking up market economics.

My Lord!--without safeguards, why in the world should President Bush give $250 billion to the gumbo people?
