The Slippery Mess

When New Orleans got into trouble (Katrina), President Bush got into bigger trouble. Republicans were accused of being slow to respond. Sad to say that New Orleans may be heading for an even bigger disaster as I write this blog today.

A giant oil rig off the Louisiana coast exploded and sank a week ago. So far over 300,000 barrels of oil have spewed forth from the ocean floor and nothing has been done to stop it. A week into this conflagration and not a peep from Washington. Hello? This is already an environmental disaster heading toward becoming a national catastrophe, and as I see it, New Orleans will be first to be evacuated. Why the silence?

Where is Al Gore? May I suggest at least a fly-over in the “Spiffy Ride” and some flowery Democratic rhetoric?

Sorry folks. This problem is real – and it needed urgent attention a week ago.
