Gov. Blanco Gets A Pass

• October 3, 2005

I missed posting about this last week…

The Washington Times
Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco, blamed by the former leader of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin for many of the city’s post-hurricane problems, was given no questions about her response to Hurricane Katrina when she appeared before a Senate committee to plead for more federal money.
She asked not to be questioned about it and the senators agreed.
Mrs. Blanco, a Democrat, was invited by the Senate Finance Committee to respond to charges by former FEMA Director Michael D. Brown, who the day before called Louisiana officials “dysfunctional” in handling the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
“Today, I came really to talk about job creation,” she said.

I don’t think they would have been so nice to her if she was a Republican…

She actually did get in a couple of her patented “I’m not here to place blame by telling you that FEMA screwed up since you already know that. I just want to talk about rebuilding.” statements. I still can’t believe that they gave her a pass. The committee has virtually no credibility now.

That’s pretty much a flat-out admission of having done a cruddy job. After all, what politician doesn’t want to talk about things they’ve done well at?
