Defaulting deadbeat Dem tours New Orleans
Someone send a clue to the New Orleans Times-Picayune! They missed the story. They missed the delicious spectacle of defaulting deadbeat Democrat Laura Richardson–she who lives sky high on the hog, leaving a trail of unpaid bills in her wake– parachuting into New Orleans and clucking about the plight of its people.
Rich, just rich:
For U.S. Rep. Laura Richardson, one member of a congressional delegation touring the New Orleans region, a few images from the opening two days made her wonder, “Do we live in America?”
She recalled a large family in St. Bernard Parish living in a FEMA trailer containing a single twin bed, with a bathroom that would cramp just one adult trying to bathe. The family was recently notified by FEMA that it would have to leave the trailer, according to Richardson, a Democrat from California.
Government has to “stop looking at a manual and look at the people,” she said.
Look in the mirror first, lady.

Wonder if she’ll stop by 60-inch-tv-owning New Orleans “slum”-dweller Sharon Jasper’s place. I have a feeling these two would get along.

Why doesn’t she just teach them how to be deadbeats? It seems easy enough to do: take things that aren’t yours, and don’t give them back. Laura Richardson has dedicated her life to this.
To her, this must be what America is.
If that doesn’t work, maybe Chris Dodd can have the whole area a “Friend of Angelo…”
I know where there are a couple of houses in california they could hook them up with…
Will this thief visit and empathize with the people who suffered through the mid-west floods? Probably not.
Looking at the destruction wrought by the ‘chocolate city’, Democrat Marxists trying to figure out how to make America into the chocolate country.
Selected visitations.
I’m sure they would become fast friends.
If you aren’t a part of the solution then you are a part of the problem. Dare I say that the government is part of the problem!
I have a feeling Congresswoman Richardson could teach Sharon Jasper a thing or two.
Yes, we live in America, where you can default on loans and yet, get another and still another. Where, despite being dishonest, or, even because of it, you can be re-elected to Congress, without opposition.
From a friend:
She’s lucky she is in America otherwise she would be strung up with the rest of the crooks.

“This is not the America I knew.”
New Orleans should be sold to the Disney Corporation. Make it a big theme park, without the ghettos. Who knows how to get a lot of people to leave a place quickly better than Disney?
They will? Why? They’ve barely had 3 years to get it together. They need time.
RedDog, love the letter. Can you imagine the outcry if someone wanted to make a Vanilla city. My ears hurt from thinking about it.
They need a least a good 20 years to get back on their feet.

Alas, we don’t pillory people for public ridicule anymore.
I’m sure the trailer is far better than some lived in prior to the flood.
By the way–Katrina hit the Mississippi gulf coast head on. N.O. only received the flooding. Why does no one ever visit Biloxi or Pass Christian, etc?
Naw, you just know those two cows would be fighting over the remote or the bucket of wings.
The loudest complainers always seem to be the ones on some sort of government assistance (like Sharon Jasper and offspring.) And, Richardson, a pot calling the kettle black?
Dem’s, please raise our taxes so that we are more able to take care of all the poor black citizens of New Orleans, who don’t have the drive, intelligence, nor incentive to take care of themselves.
And while you’re at it, please lower the entrance standards of all U.S. universities, and hand out scholarships without precondition (only for people of color) who have to unfairly compete with all of the intelligent, hardworking white and Asian students vying for those spots.

Hey! That wasn’t a racist comment, was it?!
This is why high school diplomas mean nothing anymore. College degrees are not much better. All because unqualified people are passed through the system. Restore the requirements and people with real high school degrees will be viewed with respect again.
This woman should have visited before Katrina hit. Katrina flushed the toilet of entitlement, leaving those who could have gotten out and didn’t sitting on the roof screaming “save me!” The pre-Katrina government allowed the city to slide into the dumper. The federal gov knew how many were on the dole and did nothing the change the situation. The unfairness of the situation is NOT what Katrina did but what EXISTED before Katrina hit. A city can’t be built on entitlements and be expected to survive a natural disaster!
Actually, it will take 3-4 generations, as that is what it took to get to this point.

Had to save you.
It never ceases to amaze me that every time I turn on the tv or pick up a newspaper I am subject to never-ending whining and crying about how the black race is being disrespected or mistreated. Even though black Americans only represent 12.8% of our population, they command never-ending media attention to themselves and their “dilemmas”. I would like to hear more from the Americans who are educated, have successful careers, enjoy happy family lives and, like most of us, consider themselves blessed to have the opportunities available to them in this great country and are sick of hearing about the whiners who think they deserve everything for free. But, of course, these are not things that the happy liberal whiner cares for so they are not worthy of main-stream media attention.
prendad #23….Well said…
Reddog’s post nailed it.Bulldog Out!!!
Don’t forget her very expensive govt leased vehicle
Thanks, John. I had considered adding a comment that I was not making a “racist” comment, but decided that I was not going to be PC just because I quoted an old saying. Just calling a spade a spade. Oops, there I go again. Dang it!
My sense of humor has really taken a hit this morning.
The murders in San Francisco, homosexual ‘marriage’, and now greedy grasping people whining because the public trough isn’t deep enough for the pigs.
Get a life PIGS, I want my money back !!
What? Are you kidding me? Who do you think invited her?
you know…there is nothing funnier to me politically, than when one of these elected officials who are in charge of handling issues such as this, stands out there in public and complains about how nothing is getting done.
Gee…what has SHE been doing about these alleged issues in New Orleans?
She should be right at home there, and there should not be a doubt in her mind as to why they are still looking like a bunch of lemurs attempting to procreate with a football…
The delays are all do to the same thing that got them in trouble in the first place: Corrupt Politicians.
being as she is one, you would think she would know her own.
“Haven’t these people heard of ‘liar’ loans?” she asked.
I wonder if she has been to Houston lately?
Geez! Don’t wish her off on someone else, RF.
She still has a job?
It keeps them out of D.C. for awhile.
Work.
I am so tired of New Orleans. You would think it’s the only place that has had a disaster in the past decade. Politics has played it so much, and used the people to promote politicians’ welfare (and still do)so much, that it has become a sham. Between the trailers, debit cards, etc., no wonder people sit on their butts with their hand out, and smile for the MSM cameras. Elsewhere, people get off of their rear ends, pick up the pieces, help each other, and get working to rebuild. No FEMA trailers, no debit cards, no parade of MSM commentators, no politicians making speeches blaming Bush…just rebuilding. I know Iowans. I have relatives/friends who are Iowans. Great bunch of people! New Orleans can’t hold a candle to them. As far as New Orleans goes, I never saw a more corrupt city, filled with so many losers/whiners demand so much from the American taxpayer. I saw a show recently about a “hurricane” storm that hit Oregon. I didn’t see people standing around demanding debit cards and trailers, and blaming Bush. I saw people committed to helping each other, rebuilding, and, especially, getting back to work. Score “one” for Oregon. I’m talking “winners”, not “losers”. Not a sermon, just a thought.
Don’t worry, I’ll keep working hard to provide for my family, along with the lazy, the stupid, and the greedy…
Sharon Jasper’s statement that she will “not be treated like a slave” says it all. Whether she realizes it or not, she is a slave by her own doing by relying on welfare for 57 of 58 years of her life. By allowing the state to control her livelihood rather than taking charge of her own life, she is a slave to the master called Government. But alas, a presumed hero of hers is there now, promoting this attitude of self-enslavement and entitlement. It’s pretty sad when people like Jasper are one’s political base. But then again, how much more loyal is one whose entire livelihood is controlled by a politician? I just wish these folks would have more self-respect and dignity to know they can do better.
Interesting article. “[S]ome members of the delegation [including Pelosi an Hoyer], which will likely include only Democrats, began touring the region Saturday.” They will more than likely use what they see to slam Bush at the DNC about federal disaster response, including the response to the Midwest floods.
This delegation’s motive sounds political. Is Denny K among them? How much fossil fuel was burned to transport the 30-person delegation? At least a couple of 60″ tv’s-worth.
#36 grayson: Speaking of debit cards…
How about this?
If you get any assistance from the government, for even just one day, before any election, you cannot vote in that upcoming election.
Of course, it would never happen because, to get re-elected, the power-mad socialists have to spew their class warfare hate speech to the “poor” people. You know, the one’s that own 60″ TVs.
John Holliday (#40)–I have a problem with that, as it is too hard to properly define government assistance.
However, on a vaguely related issue–pandering politicians–I would like to see a Constitutional amendment that no sitting member of Congress can run for President.
