Impeach Blanco blog
Gov. Blanco’s incompetent handling of the before and after plans for Hurricane Katrina has made a lot of people angry and some are even calling for her impeachment over this. Chuck DeWitt is one of those people. He has a blog titled: Impeach Kathleen Blanco. A snippet of his statement:
Governor Blanco is indecisive, more concerned with politics than duty, and has demonstrated a serious lack of judgment that clearly shows she is the wrong person to be the chief executive of Louisiana. I believe Governor Blanco should be removed from office immediately and replaced by a competent individual with the ability to take responsibility and make the decisions necessary to lead our state.
Governor Blanco, you can point the finger at whoever you want. You can shift the blame, obfuscate the truth, and deny culpability in as many press conferences as you like. Until the day you stand before the citizens of Louisiana, admit your mistakes, and accept responsibility for your poor choices, I will not rest. Your actions cost lives, and you will be held accountable.
If you’re a resident of La. and believe Blanco should be impeached, check out Chuck’s site.

Is Bill Clinton’s ex-FEMA director still on her payroll? Just curious. He certainly wasn’t much help unless the plan all along was to have a big mess with loss of life and then try to pin it on President Bush and the Republicans. If so, they accomplished the first half, I’m not so sure they are going to be successful with the second half.
Not sure, Evon – to be quite honest, I didn’t know Clinton’s ex-FEMA dir. was on her payroll. Are you talking about Witt, by chance?
Good post, Sister Toldjah! I linked to it in a post I did today. Please note my new URL.
- Had to love it when Blanco was being interviewed and seemed to be so unraveled and out of touch she forgot who the Governor of the state was. To Wit:
Reporter: So then are you saying it was the duty of the Federal Government to activate the initial emergency plan?
Blanco: “Well in an event of an emergency its the duty of the Governor….Ummm…. That would be Me… To make sure the neccessary steps blah blah blah blah”
(voice in the crowd: Have you checked your nametag… Are you really really sure….)-

*waves to Bang!*:mrgreen:
Blanco has already given it up.
She was caught between interviews, on a live camera, talking to her aide and saying that she should have ask for troops on the first call.
When confronted with the facts she did an about face. Told the state legislature that “the buck stops here, I should have called for troops sooner.”
Additionally she said that the people of Louisanna have a friend in G W Bush.
Newsmax.com has the details.
I love it!
Thanks for the link, Sister Toldjah!
As for Richard’s post above, you can watch Governor Blanco caught on tape as she tells her press secretary “I really should call for the military,” at http://impeachblanco.org
The sick part is seeing her giggle as she says “You know, I put good people in jeopardy.” You sure did, Kathleen.
By denying the Red Cross access to the evacuees at the Superdome and Convention Center, by not sending in the Louisiana National Guard to support the NOPD, by not evacuating the hospitals and nursing homes per the LA State Emergency Operations Plan, you put a lot of good people in jeopardy. And some of them are dead now.
After CNN aired that video, the Governor addressed the Louisiana Legislature and admitted mistakes were made. “The buck stops here,” she said. Since then she has backpedaled, admitting she is responsible only for “assuming that help was on the way.”
Well, help is on the way, and until Governor Kathleen Blanco is removed from office and replaced with a competent individual who can make decisions and accept responsibility, I will not rest.

Blank-0 should not only be immediately impeached, butshe should also be tried for 1st degree manslaughter……
You’re harsh, Larry!
