Posted: Jul 9, 2014
Well, actually I can think of one politician who I'd like to see locked up for a long, long, looooong time. But that's not the story for today, unfortunately.

What was up with that, anyway? I thought that comment was so strange when I originally heard him say that, and then I recently watched a documentary about Katrina where I heard it again. To me, it sounded as if he didn't think the school busses were good enough and he needed Greyhound. There is so much about that whole thing that I don't understand - no disaster plan in place when they knew well in advance what could happen, the feds dropping the ball, etc. Apparently, when the LA governor met with President Bush, she turned down the help he offered. Anyway, I'm glad Nagin is going to jail although I don't consider the sentence strict enough. Corruption in Louisiana politics seems to be the norm rather than the exception if one reads the history of the state. So interesting to me. I live on the West coast so can't really know all that happened during Katrina. Anyone from the gulf coast who could share, that would be awesome.
