How do we hold Dennis Hastert accountable for wanting to bull-doze NOLA?

WASHINGTON -- It makes no sense to spend billions of dollars to rebuild a city that's seven feet under sea level, House Speaker Dennis Hastert said of federal assistance for hurricane-devastated New Orleans.

"It looks like a lot of that place could be bulldozed," the Illinois Republican said in an interview about New Orleans Wednesday with the Daily Herald of Arlington Heights, Ill.

Asked in the interview whether it made sense to spend billions rebuilding a city that lies below sea level, he replied, "I don't know. That doesn't make sense to me."

And check this out- he basicaly says we should abandon San Francisco and Hollywood- two other cities beloved all over the world:

"We ought to take a second look at it. But you know we build Los Angeles and San Francisco on top of earthquake fissures and they rebuild too. Stubbornness."


Well- I've seen the photos of the French Quarter and I think the city can be saved. And writing off SF & LA???- no sir.

Hastert's assertion that we should let historical American cities fall have been largely forgotten in the media. But not too many Democrats are calling him on it either.

If you agree- let Democrats & the media know that you think Hastert should be held accountable and made to apologize. CNN has been pretty okay lately-try them.

Now is a good time to revisit his recent proclamation to raze cities, with the photos of the beloved French Quarter showing that Hastert is out of his mind.
