Predicting the spin on the Katrina Disaster

[MsMagnificent]

How are the Rightie-pundit-cheerleaders going to handle all the well-deserved negativity? It ought to be very interesting to see them try and talk their way out of this one!

My vote is they'll dredge up the tried-and-true "Clinton Did It!" but what else will they use?

And have those reasons finally been overused?

1. they will and have started already...

blaming the victims. the lawlessness, not leaving, having too many babies...etc

[chelsea0011]

2. It is going on now. People were asked to leave and didn't , and

who could have imagined anything this big?

3. They are already blaming

the victims and State officials.

Don't you know? Nero and his Gang of Thugs are NEVER to blame!!

4. They dont need to involve Clinton - How can we justify this.

And not this is rawstory.com, not a RW freeper newspaper.

July 2005 article reveals New Orleans told poor: 'You're on your own'

John Byrne

A July 24, 2005 article in the New Orleans Times Picayune (not available online) reveals just how unprepared officials were for a hurricane, especially as it affected the city's poor, RAW STORY has learned. The first sentence alone reveals how little support the city expected to have for the poor in the event of a disaster, saying, "City, state and federal emergency officials are preparing to give the poorest of New Orleans' poor a historically blunt message: In the event of a major hurricane, you're on your own."

5. "How dare you point fingers. You're playing politics."

"Don't question us before, during, or after any crisis -- don't you know there's a crisis on?" blah blah blah de frickin' blah...
