When asked about the buses parked in the water:
"I am not going to level criticism at local and state officials. Mayor Nagin and most mayors in this country have a hard time getting their people to work on a sunny day, less alone getting them out of the city in front of a hurricane, and it's because this administration and administrations before them do not understand the difficulties that mayors.face. In other words, this administration does not believe in mass transit." Sen. Landrieu
Concerning Mayor Nagin's culpability:
"They couldn't conceive of the notion that someone couldn't load up their SUVs, put a hundred dollars worth of gas in there, put some sparkling water and drive off to a hotel and check in with a credit card." Sen. Barak Obama
Concerning the Bush Administration and Global Warming's causing Katrina:
"When the corpses of American citizens are floating in toxic flood waters five days after a hurricane struck, it is time not only to respond directly to the victims of the catastrophe, but to hold ... the leaders of our nation accountable...The warnings about global warming have been extremely clear for a long time. We are facing a global climate crisis, it is deepening. We are entering a period of consequences," Al Gore
Said during John Roberts confirmation hearings:
"Today, the devastation, despair facing millions of our fellow Americans in the Gulf region is a tragic reminder of why we have a federal government, why it's critical that our government be responsive," Sen. Patrick J. Leahy
"The powerful winds and flood waters of Katrina tore away the mask that has hidden from public view the many Americans who are left out and left behind. As one nation under God, we cannot continue to ignore the injustice, the inequality and the gross disparities that exist in our society." Sen. Edward M. Kennedy
Don't Democrats and liberals tout themselves as intellectuals? |

"Snipet" (pronounced: snipe - it) is not a word.It is a derivative of two words: "Snipe" and "Snippet".
Miriam Webster defines Snipe as: to aim a carping or snide attack, or: to shoot at exposed individuals (as of an enemy's forces) from a usually concealed point of vantage.
Miriam Webster defines Snippet as: : a small part, piece, or thing; especially : a brief quotable passage.
In short, "Snipets" are brief, snide shots at exposed situations from a concealed vantage point.
WARNING! With due reverence to the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment there is NO comment policy on the News Snipet.
