Hmm, isn't if funny how what comes around goes around.
Gov. Bobby Jindal's problems with the federal government regarding the oil spill catastrophe and protecting our coast is proof-positive that former Gov. Kathleen Blanco was justified in her actions and critiques of the federal government after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
I'll say what needs to be said for him.
Former Gov. Blanco, I shouldn't have criticized you after Katrina. You were right and I was wrong. You are absolved of an perceived sins - Gov. Jindal

BLANCO, had her 5 minutes of claim to fame and like an in-experienced politician blew her chance out of the water she choked, so save it Kathleen, your comments are like spittin into the wind,a liability that'll come back to haunt you...

Maybe ? I'm not reading the same article as Mr. Cajun Hiker, But, i remember Kathleen and Nagin waving to their New Orleans constituents, while the poor voters stood in flood waters up to their knees, Kathleen and Nagin flew to high ground in the state chopper..... So Kathleen, needs to realize that there is not one intelligent soul in this state who would allow any credence to any of her invidious commentary, especially her degradation of our Governor Jindal, she could'nt carry his water jug on a fair weather day much less, during a crisis !
This is the problem with female politicians. In a time of crisis, they want to immediately head for high ground, as evident by Kathleen's behavior during Katrina, and now she wants to comment, in her most common female snide manner, and publically critique our governor in her usual disparaging manner. When the crisis Jindal faces will leave this state in the worst financial setback, this BP fiasco
will affect, and damage our economy as only two Katrina hurricanes back to back, could possibily exact on our economy, our oil industry is at this moment being denied all drilling permits, in the " GULF OF MEXICO.
WITH OUR OIL INDUSTRY, CEASING ALL DRILLING OPERATIONS and our second economic strong point, the SEAFOOD INDUSTRY facing unknown contamination of their fishing waters, we will be facing unemployment, so widespread, into every business sector, as we have never witnessed or experienced in our lifetime. " We need not heap criticism or blame on our own, not at this time "..... We need to keep in mind, we are everyone of us, in this together. No-one has a choice, every able body needs to grab a paddle......

BP will declare bankruptsy. This is going so slow so that all the financial big wigs can "line up their ducks in a row", so they don't personally go belly up. Then Louisiana will be in the toilet, the country can't bail us out without going broke, the Eastern coast is likely to be destroyed also, and what the heck will they do with all the illegals in Florida if that state dies too! This could be the world wide catastrophe that takes the US from a super power to a super dud. As for Blanco, she embarasses herself by trying to make her Katrina efforts look better in comparison to today's crisis. She should have stayed under her rock.

N.S. are you seriously saying that Kathleen's problem was that she was a female politician? Did you also drink your Ovaltine while wearing a letter sweater and listening to Bing Crosby on the record player?

Ok Resident, It Is a commonly perceived observation, one which the femine gender, has on more than one occassion, not only failed to dispel, but you have so reinforced, the age-old fact that beginning with," Ms. Sara Lee, THE FIRST KNOWN FEMINIST, and her canned biscuits, and MS. WESTINGHOUSE, " THE LADY WHO INVENTED THE 'MICRO-WAVE, The female gender has continually displayed their desire to take the high road with no pitfalls nor obstructions, therefore females have never faced perils, as this has been mans place, to take the bull by the horns since the beginning of time, when man slayed the mastadon, and the females of the clan, chewed and gnawed the hide to sew into the clothing for the clan...." As it was in the beginning and always shall be, Til the cows come home ".

Did I really understand him to imply women in the work force never have to experience hardships and "pit falls"? Do you actually believe those women were given careers on a silver platter? Do you have any daughters or grand daughters? Ask a working woman with say, 30 yrs experience, if she feels as if she had it easier..... Man, I remember one boss telling a female the men got a bigger raise because they had families. Since she was a single mother whose children's dead beat daddy was lagging in child support, she reminded him she was the sole supporter and that "a loaf of bread costs the same now matter what sex you are!". No one ever got a discount on groceries because they were women.....

MORROW, don't catch a melvin, I have never implied that women pay less for grocerys ! I love women, Moreso the women who know how to make homemade biscuits from scratch and those who have never cooked a meal in a MICRO-WAVE OVEN ! Color me " MADE IN THE USA, CIRCA 1950's.
