Amid Katrina Chaos, Congressman Used National Guard to Visit Home
I heard this on Rush Limbaugh when I accidentally listened to his show for a few minutes. Of course his angle was that if this had been a white Republican, the story wouldn't just be on the ABC News website. You could tell he wanted to criticize the "liberal" media for not reporting it, but couldn't do it since his source was part of it, so instead he just pretended they would cover it more if it was a Republican.
Rush being an idiot aside, if the story is true, it's pretty disgusting. I'm sure there were a lot of people that would have liked to go back in their homes to get things but weren't allowed, and/or didn't think it was safe. And this guy apparently used his status to ge thim in, then lied about wanting a tour of the area (which really shouldn't have been given in the first place, if they're still rescuing people) so he could go to his house and get his stuff. And whether what he says about not requesting the use of military assets is true, the fact is, he was using them, and they probably could have been used better elsewhere. I don't care if the guy is a Democrat, this sounds pretty bad. Unfortunately, I'm sure we'll hear a lot of disgusting stories about the aftermath of the hurricane in the future.

Hey, blacks and Democrats have their share of assholes too. I saw this on ABC last night. He's just a greedy, self-important bastid who probably cost some lives. He detained a helicopter for 45 minutes.
Rush must have missed that, he seemed to think it was relegated to the website by the "liberal" media.
Yeah, I think it's wrong, and maybe it could be overlooked, except that there were so many people still in need of help at that time, and those resources were valuable.
I'm sure he's done that already, peppermd.
That's interesting. Does your wife know about this?
