2. Gotta go to bed, have a plane to catch tomorrow, but I think they

overlooked a White House comment that Katrina would have a "minimal" effect on the economy or words to that effect, this was either on Monday or Wednesday, because I saw it at work and wasn't there Tuesday. I remarked that it was typical of BushCo and bullshit too.

8. Aaron Brown, on CNN, Sunday evening before Katrina hit

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0508/28/asb.02.html. Aaron wondered out loud if there was going to be a New Orleans in the morning. Everyone he spoke to was predicting a huge, catastrophic storm, with devastating results. Where in the hell was FEMA, where was the president? This group was obviously not Bush's "base."

10. I missed this one,

Monday, August 29
7AM – KATRINA MAKES LANDFALL AS A CATEGORY 4 HURRICANE

8AM – MAYOR NAGIN REPORTS THAT WATER IS FLOWING OVER LEVEE: “I’ve gotten reports this morning that there is already water coming over some of the levee systems. In the lower ninth ward, we’ve had one of our pumping stations to stop operating, so we will have significant flooding, it is just a matter of how much.”

MORNING — BUSH CALLS SECRETARY CHERTOFF TO DISCUSS IMMIGRATION: “I spoke to Mike Chertoff today — he’s the head of the Department of Homeland Security. I knew people would want me to discuss this issue , so we got us an airplane on — a telephone on Air Force One, so I called him. I said, are you working with the governor? He said, you bet we are.”

:argh:
