The Bus That Didn't Bark

Ace of Spades points out that no evacuation plan is good enough if you don't use it:

Nagin and Blanco and Mary "Atom-Splitter" Landrieu keep saying that you can't force bus drivers to drive in the middle of a Category 5 Hurricane.

Ummm... excuse me if I'm just a moron rightwinger, but aren't evacuations typically supposed to occur before an impending disaster, not during it?

Apparently, in Louisiana, police, bus drivers, and emergency workers can't be required to work when the skies are hazy, overcast, or "overly dewey, but not in that sweet, romantic way."

If a Republican politician was offering up these kinds of excuses, he would be getting absolutely slaughtered on every news show every day. But, a Republican administration isn't offering excuses and it's getting slaughtered anyway. Hmmm...it's almost as if the whole idea was just to slaughter Republicans.
