Why Didn't ALL the Senators Use Their Private Jets to Help Evacuate
the dispossessed in New Orleans?
Why wasn't a fleet of Senatorial Air Kings flying into New Orleans and loading up the stranded Americans and transporting them to safety?
Jefferson Parrish President sobbing on Meet The Press - one week after the hurricane - "We have been abandoned by our own country...the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina will go down as one of the worst abandonments of Americans on American soil ever in U.S. history...Nobody's coming to get us. Nobody's coming to get us. The secretary has promised. Everybody's promised. They've had press conferences. I'm sick of the press conferences. For God sakes, shut up and send us somebody."
2. At least one reason: NOLA airport was closed Sunday when they issued
the mandatory evacuation.
But I doubt this was even seriously considerated. If something of the sort had to be done, the army has planes that can hold a lot of people. The answer is simpler: nothing was planed to evacuate the city.
