Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco has not been happy with Idiot Son
Date: 7/22/2005


Author:By LAURA McKNIGHT and KATINA A. GAUDET Staff Writers Houma Courier


EDITORIAL: Coastal Advocates Dismayed by Bush's Opposition

Tell the president what you think

Gov. Kathleen Blanco released a copy of a letter to President Bush on Wednesday in which she encourages him to visit Louisiana to see the state's coastal-erosion problems firsthand.
In it, she touches on concerns that the deteriorating Louisiana coast threatens critical oil-industry infrastructure, including transportation routes and pipelines. Although budget constraints are said to be the reason for the Bush administration's opposition, Blanco said, "please consider the far greater costs of not addressing the catastrophic coastal land loss occurring in Louisiana, land loss that puts our nation's energy security and economic future at risk. . I urge you to schedule the visit before the Energy Bill is completed. I know that once you see what is unfolding, firsthand, the urgency my state and our nation faces will be clear."
Blanco also encouraged Louisiana residents to send correspondence to the president. You can e-mail president@whitehouse.gov, call (202) 456-1111 or write The President, The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington, D.C., 20500.

7. They would have to pull
100 cops and National Guard to protect his sorry ass. Instead of saving real people they would have to line the roads with snipers, etc.

11. I got that sense too...
She seemed very guarded with her comments about Bush. Can't say I blame her, that's for sure. From what I saw, it seemed like she was biting her tongue on what she really wanted to say. I've been impressed with her.

10. Wow....That is completely pathetic.
She doesn't even care what he does now, and neither does anyone else since apparently the only thing that mattered was the "oil refineries"

At least the coastal guard and other resources are kicking in, and getting the job done. Just shove his desk over and take control of the situation, he's just a phony fraud anyway.

12. Send this to the bastards at FOX "News" who only want to report on looting
They will do everything in their power to find fault with Blanco and the mayor. Mark my words.

Send a copy to Rush and Hannity also.
