Rep. Charlie Melancon (D-La) says Fire BP Coward Hayward while Sen. Diaper-Dave Vitter (R-Pamp) goes to bed with BP for a Liability Night Cap
~When the Corps of Engineers levees failed in August 2005 causing the deaths of over 1,400 and putting a major city underwater, no one, including Rep Charlie Melancon called for the firing of Corps Commander Lt. Gen Carl Strock.
And no one including Rep Melancon objected when Lt. Gen Strock in Oct 2005 ordered an investigation of the levee failures, which amounted to an analysis of his agency's own work, a self-study of the levee failures.
We the citizens couldn't object because we were trying to figure where to live, work and send our kids to school.
150,000 families were displaced.

As pointed out by James Carville this past Sunday on CNN, the nation stood by "..passively as Louisiana continues to lose vital marshlands and wetlands, as it did when 80 percent of New Orleans was under water during...Hurricane Katrina because the Army Corps of Engineers "built shoddy levees.""
