I wonder if these folks had any floats with dead people on them to represent all the idiots who refused to leave. Maybe they had a float with looters on it carrying items that they stole from honest hard working people. Maybe they even had a float with William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana, carrying out stuff from his house after misappropriating military equipment.
Do you suppose there was a float with a Red Cross truck full of supplies with a little Nagin and Blanco refusing to give any of it to the people? Maybe there was a float with a Jesse Jackson and Kanye West shouting racist remarks and spewing their race baiting rhetoric.
You have to love a city where the people in charge are so inept they leave hundreds of buses parked and leave tens of thousands of their citizens stranded (by following a plan that called for that) but still plan and conduct a party. I wonder how much of that will be charged to the US taxpayer.
