Under "More Countdown Video", click on "House of Scandal"

If nothing has pissed you off at this point, watching this video is guaranteed to do it.

that their government was all about politics and not serving the needs of the American
people.

2. I think Katrina was the event that exposed, in real time, exactly your point
and it was right there for the world to see, again, in real time.

No way they could spin that, or try to lay the blame on Democrats.

5. Yes, now they don't blame anyone, they just forgot
didn't Kyle Sampson say "I forget" 122 times during testimony.

6. Do a little research on her-she also was an EPA spokesperson
a loyal Bushie-it's time for transparency and accountability for all of these criminals, the RICO Act was designed for prosecution of organizations and networks like The Decider's Republics imo.

8. well, here's a statement she made after Katrina
BATON ROUGE, La. (CNN) -- The floodwater in New Orleans contains high levels of lead in addition to E. coli bacteria, the Environmental Protection Agency says.

EPA press secretary Eryn Witcher said the agency issued an advisory about the water Wednesday after getting initial results, but final results waited for further review. The samples were taken Sept. 3, four days after Hurricane Katrina hit, from six locations in the city.

Witcher said the level of lead in the water would cause "concern if a child ingests large amounts of the flood water." (Posted: 12:27 p.m.)

9. didn't piss me off one little bit, I was delighted someone dared say it out loud
we've been saying it here, and with our closest friends but on TV? The truth? What will they think of next?
