Fox's O'Lielly's blaming Gov. Blanco.

[oasis]

She was too late in requesting goverment troops. Says O'lielly.

[Quetzal]

1. FUCK YOU O'REILLY

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

[oasis]

4. Al Franken will deal with his sorry ass Monday.

[maine_raptor]

2. Yawn!!!!!!

That was sooooooooooo unexpected.............NOT!

[oasis]

10. Rove's memo called for Bill not to blame the Mayor of NO. As long

as Chimpyboy comes out smelling like a rose, any Democrat will do.

[Fleshdancer]

3. Geraldo just told O'Rielly to get busses down here!

said to forget the governor and that he (O'Reilly) could do it if he wanted to. O'Rielly got agitated and defensive.

Now showing a man holding a baby that belongs to a woman who passed out. Once that was said, O'Reilly cut them off.

[titoresque]

6. oh god I saw that too

Fucking HELL! "convention center,convention center,convention center,convention center,convention center!!!!!!!!!" Get the fucking buses down there!!!!!!!!

[Fleshdancer]

14. "Dantes Inferno" "30,000 people and dead babies are inside"

I've never been a Geraldo fan, but he's showing his compassion for his fellow Americans tonight. For that I thank him.

[Pirate Smile]

31. Was Geraldo at the Superdome or the Convention Center?

[Junkdrawer]

9. Anyone else notice that even the GOP whores are outraged IF..

they are on the scene?

[Fleshdancer]

20. and it's pissing off the teleprompter readers over at Fox headquarters

I'm ripped to pieces just seeing the images on tv. I don't see how anyone could be in NO and NOT become frantic and outraged. I just see flat images, I don't know the smell, I can't feel the stress, I have never watched a person die. I can't imagine.

[PA Democrat]

16. More "Fair & Balanced" BS from FOX

I wish we could send that cretin Bill O'Reilly down to the NO Convention Center to do his show live. Now that is something I would definitely tune into FOX to see.

[Fleshdancer]

22. Haven't the victims suffered enough??!!?!

Seriously though, I agree. He needs to get his pampered ass down there and get a clue.

[SammyWinstonJack]

5. kick

[Joey Liberal]

7. That appears to be the republican talking points

The republiNazis want to blame Bush's lack of action on Gov. Blanco.

[tedoll78]

18. Talking point response:

The lack of response is not a Louisiana-specific phenomenon. Look at Mississippi.. they're seeing a lack of response as well, which tells us that it's federal.

[Pirate Smile]

37. Shuster said the help they have gotten in Mississippi where he was

located at was from private groups, churches, etc. - not the government.

[tedoll78]

38. Yup.

My partner's family is from the MS coast.. I'm from New Orleans. We're both noticing that it's non-govt groups that are doing the heavy lifting, and that FEMA is scarce.

[Cleita]

8. Karl Rove hard at work I see.

Let's tell O'Reilly to shut the fuck up. No one believes his shit anymore.

[HerbieHeadhunter]

11. O'Lielly seems to think *he *is sending the help in NO....

think we can use his fat ego to stop up a breached levy?

[HerbieHeadhunter]

12. O'Lielly seems to think *he *is sending the help in NO....

[edbermac]

13. Just posted behind you on that about BO...

It really amazes me that people like him have no shame at all.

19. Chimpyboy called NO a disaster area before the storm. Why didn't he send

in the national guard, Mr. O'lielly?

[Pirate Smile]

15. I just posted a thread on this which I asked to be deleted now.

"O'Reilly had on a Colonel who explained that everything is the fault of the Governor. All of it. The National Guard and Fed troops weren't there because of her.

Geraldo is even saying "you do it, Bill, bypass the Governor, you take care of it, Bill." He is talking about getting the buses to evacuate the people out of the Superdome. Because, of course, we just learned that everything is the Governor's fault.

Bill is taking care of things. Everyone should just relax now.

[oasis]

24. That's Fox's resident warmonger colonel. He's now a disaster expert.

[KamaAina]

17. BULL!

She TRIED to request the troops but could not reach anyone in charge at the Federal level.

Could that be because there is no one in charge at the Federal level?!

That's it. His new name is Bull O'Really?

[oasis]

23. He had the resident Fox warmonger colonel on as a "disaster" expert

to agree with him.

Signed, sealed, delivered... Chimpy's off the hook for this one. Again.

[AnnInLa]

21. So are DUers....Falafel boy isn't surprising, but the other is

I personally heard her, in a press conference, the same one in which she demanded an apology from Hastert, where she said, I am thru asking, I am demanding 40,000 troops here immediately. So, she had been asking...but, they don't understand asking, they only understand demanding. And, when FEMA claimed that things had been pre-positioned (in advance), where were those things, and who was repositioning them...no troops involved in pre-positioning?

All you have to do is watch CNN and MSNBC to see who is to blame here. I hope certain DUers are watching.

[Sewsojm]

25. Someone

needs to shut this worthless Bastard up for good, he's a disgusting Pig!!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

26. I agree and Dems need to get on the horn with Blanco and

document WHAT she asked for and when and fill the airwaves with it..I will BET MY HAT MY ASS AND MY OVERCOAT that she made requests over the weekend BEFORE the storm that went ignored.

[LSK]

27. she requested it on August 28 - link

"I request direct Federal assistance for work and services to save lives and protect property."

http://gov.louisiana.gov/Disaster%20Relief%20Request.pdf

Link at http://www.therandirhodesshow.com/live/

DOES IT GET ANY CLEARER THAN THAT????????????

[oasis]

28. Thanks. Al Franken and others can use this to refute the Rove/Fox machine.

[oasis]

33. link***Blanco's actual document requesting federal help*****post # 27.

[WI Independent]

32. Actually...

That letter seems to be requesting money to pay for work and services the state will provide. Which, if I'm not mistaken, Bush approved shortly after that.

I'm sure she asked for people at somepoint, but I don't see it in that particular letter.

There were mistakes made at every level... I don't think anyone REALLY understood the enormity of what was happening.

[oasis]

35. "Major damage" will be visited on the state of Louisiana. Category 5.

Somebody in the federal goverment is supposed to connect the dots.

[WI Independent]

36. I agree...

They should have seen this coming whether LA, MS, AL (possibly TX and FL if it veered) asked for help or not. With all the money that's been poured into Homeland Security in the last few years, the reaction time is inexcusable.

But the question was when did LA specifically request troops (not monetary assistance). I don't think this letter answers that.

[Pirate Smile]

29. OMG. O'Reilly is unbelievable. He is going to solve everything because

everyone is listening to him and watching his show, so if he says "go here" someone??? will do his bidding because they are watching "The Factor".

The bridge that Shepard Smith begged for help from days ago, O'Reilly is going to get those people help.

:wow:

Oh, now he is going to go solve Aruba's crimes.

It is so close to comedy but he doesn't realize it. Stephanie Miller is going to have a field day on Monday.

[oasis]

30. He is the most self-centered, delusional individual on the planet.

[Tyranny_R_US]

34. If anything they should be bashing her for kissing their ass

to gain political points with them but NOOO you'll never hear those arrogant jackasses report from that point of view.
