Cheney visited Louisiana yesterday

Dick Cheney visited Louisiana yesterday . . . for a fundraiser. Did he stop by to check in on FEMA? Visit with the local New Orleanians to see what more needs to be done? At least stop for a photo op?

Of course not. According to the article he didn't even talk about the largest disaster in American history just five months ago.

The vice president flew into Alexandria International Airport at the airpark about 4 p.m., and he left the reception shortly after 5:30 p.m. to go back to the airport to depart.

In a speech, Cheney touched on many of the subjects emphasized by President Bush in last week's State of the Union address, including Iraq and the War on Terrorism.

Terrorism. He came to Louisiana, about 200 miles from New Orleans, and talked about terrorism.

Does anybody wonder why the people of New Orleans are having to look elsewhere for help?

Nagin, who has hosted a steady stream of foreign dignitaries since Hurricane Katrina hit in late August, says he may seek international assistance because U.S. aid has not been sufficient to get the city back on its feet.

"I know we had a little disappointment earlier with some signals we're getting from Washington but the international community may be able to fill the gap," Nagin said when a delegation of French government and business officials passed through on Friday to explore potential business partnerships....

Unbelievable.

I think I can speak for majority of Louisiana when I say,
"Go fuck yourself, Mr. Cheney."
