@Jennifer Farwell: We know damn well where they’ve been; at board meetings and five-star hotels and “fact-finding” trips to the usual rich-boy hangouts.

The sooner we get Obama or McCain - I’m past caring which - in and they take a flamethrower to the tails of Lord Powell and all the other cockroaches of his ilk, the sooner we’ll have NO back on its feet - as well as the once and future United States of America.

The question is not where have WE been, but where has Bush, and Powell, and all the money and resources promised been. Pre-K, where was the Army Corps of Engineers and the money appropriated but never budgeted for levee work.

But then, I guess Iraq had no problem with its infrastructure or school system pre-war, so we really cannot be considered in the same league as that shining star of progressive living.

Karen and every other brave soul that attended:

Thank you, thank you from the very bottoms of our beaten and broken hearts to the top of our angry and tenacious heads!!!!!!

If they don’t ” like” us who the f$#@$ cares….we have a lot of great friends already.. We need action and constant humiliation seems to be the solitary tactic that gets response.

Mr. Powell, you can QUIT YOUR JOB, just like the rest of those monkeys up there. You are usless to us and to this country.

It would be nice if they appointed someone who *likes* us to head our recovery.

[…] Celcus tipped me to this post by Karen Gadbois.Â She’s been up in D.C with several other locals and they gave it to Donald Powell.Â I’ve said it before that I wish we had at least one local or state official with enough backbone to tell Mr. Powell that he is no longer welcome in our city.Â Â As usual down here, it takes a group of regular citizens to get the job done.

incredible! I mean, we hear about this sort of stupid behavior in the media daily, but i think we all expect it’s an act for that very same media. It’s hard to believe they’re this foolish in a room full of New Orleanians…

Yes,
he really said that.

The first time I went to Walter Leger’s office to with a group from CHAT he said the same thing. It must be a technique to throw people off.

I guess the idea is to blame the victim on a massive scale.

Kind of blew up in his face.

â€œWhere have you all been?â€

Powell asked that? Really?

The gall.
