I listened to Limbaugh today and he lied immediately. He can hardly go twenty seconds without an outright lie. What he said was that Ray Nagin didn't bus the Katrina victims out because he had post-traumatic stress disorder.

Let's look at the facts now. According to Vanity Fair's unflattering in-depht piece on Nagin, he was stressed out (who wouldn't be?) but he sent representatives to try and get the buses. They could not find the keys nor the drivers. And then very quickly the buses were under water.

So once again, Rush lied.

While Nagin blew it by not ordering a mandatory evacuation, FEMA blew it even worse knowing that such a hurricane would totally swamp local authorities (literally) and they would need major league help. And on the morning of the flooding Bush stopped for a photo op speech where he compared himself to FDR. We all know the rest. How about Mobile Home Bush for letting 10,000 mobile homes sink into the mud in Arkansas? That was after the fact without any stress trauma.

All Bush ever did were photo ops after the criticism started. He never really did anything to help the people. Still hasn't. In fact you can see today with the story about the $950 security guards FEMA is hiring, that it's just another case of corruption and mismanagement. In Mississippi too.
