Lecture Notes: Oh, Mercy; because now you are an orphan!

The Morning Morons (they would want me to use their names) say they just do not get it. Dr. Walter Maestri’s mother died in the St. Rita’s Nursing “Home,” (located in St. Bernard Parrish), not on Friday just as the Federal troops started to stream into the affected area, after being delayed by the Governor who demanded control of the Federal troops. (She already had control of the State National Guard. (The Governor of New Mexico, a Democrat himself, says he had offered his Guardsmen earlier but the Governor had not responded. (Of course he did not think to send his troops anyway. (And this is the “man” who will it is said bring substance and judgment to the expected Mrs. Billy Clinton Presidency. (Not a good start.)))))

“Why, what difference could it make?” they say incredulously. “Where is your heart? . . . Some people’s thinking just is not connected to their hearts.”

And they wonder why I call them the Morning Morons.

The President of Jefferson Parrish was on the air, 6 days after the storm, claiming that Mr. Bush “killed” the people of Louisiana due to the fact that the troops, offered Wednesday, did not receive permission from the Governor, also a Democrat, until Saturday. (Not the Saturday before the storm but the Saturday after the storm. (The Mayor related the President’s offer on Air Force One, that Friday. The Governor said, he relates, “she would think about it.” (The National Guardsmen were arriving on Thursday, and were, recall, “more than ready” to shoot to kill according to the sensitive Governor, A Woman.)))

The President of Jefferson Parrish, did I mention he is a Democrat, offered the tearful story of how Dr. Maestri’s mother survived the storm and called her son, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and drowned on Friday as evidence of how the “Federals” had “killed” the people of Louisiana. The Parrish President Mr. Broussard used the example of the death of Mrs. Maestri in a bitterly partisan attack on the President of the United States during a time of crisis.

Previously we have pointed out that Mr. Russert, a Democrat operative, let Mr. Broussard’s wild and self contradictory story go on the air unchallenged, and in the weeks since, has failed to correct the record. For example after the storm all communication was lost so the claim was self evidently false at the time it was broadcast. (And evidence has been previously submitted. (See below, Admission Against Interest.))

Yet not withstanding this partisan use of Mrs. Maestri’s death, the personal attack on the President of the United States by Mr. Broussard, a Democrat, in which he accused the President of “killing,” of “murdering” the people of Louisiana, the Morning Morons do not see what difference it makes if Mrs. Maestri died in the predicted tidal surge on Monday, the day of the storm, in a nursing “home” which sits in a 12 foot depression at the edge of a Mangrove swamp, less than an hours drive from both Dr. Maestri and Mr. Broussard’s “command center.”

The Morning Morons do not see what difference it makes that Dr. Maestri spoke with his 90 year old mother not after the storm, but before the storm, on Friday, and Saturday, and Sunday before communications were lost. What difference does it make that St. Bernard Parish Coroner Brian Johnson Bertucci knew on Sunday, before the storm, that the owner of St. Rita’s was not, I say they told him they would not, evacuate the home prior to the storm? That they would “ride it out.” In the end some patients were saved by floating them on their mattresses, in the flood, during the storm, to a high school which sits on a slight rise of land a few hundred yards from the St. Rita’s “home.”

Now you need to know that the person most responsible for establishing a disaster response plan for the Parrish of Jefferson, which borders St. Bernard Parrish, is none other than Dr. Maestri. And the first duty in the event of a storm is the evacuation of the people. And first among them are those with “special needs.” Like, just for one example, his own mother, a lady of 90 years. First of the first to whom the highest duty is owed. Or do they not understand that word? “Duty?” She had lived to see the First World War, The Great Depression, The Second World War, . . . 90 years of American History, . . . oh, and she lived to see the flood waters race in through the windows, (someone tried to nail a table against one window to stop the waters), lived to see the tide rise to the ceiling of her “home.” What difference does it make?

And here you have the Emptiness of life.

“Don’t you have a heart?” The man is an orphan!

If you do not have a mind what good is the heart? Emotions, yes. Like any other animal.

Note that the owners of St. Rita’s have been charged but not the Parrish Coroner who by his own admission knew the “home” would not be evacuated. Who by his own statement had not one but “two busses” for the evacuation of the inmates of St. Rita’s. Who by his own admission knew on “Sunday” --- God’s Day --- BEFORE THE STORM --- that the “home” was a death trap.

The Parrish Coroner knew all of this and knew too what he says the owners had told him over the phone: That they had “signed waivers” from the “families” that the patients could remain in the “home”, located in a depression, on the edge of a Mangrove swamp as a Category FIVE storm approached with its 26 foot ocean surge.

“What difference does it make?” they ask.

Well it made no difference to the Attorney General of Louisiana who has given a pass to the Coroner of St. Bernard Parrish. No negligence. They said they had “signed waivers” from the “families.”

And Dr. Maestri, the man in charge of emergency evacuations in Jefferson Parrish, we now learn, he also knew all of this. We now learn he called his mother every day before the storm. This son. This expert. Less than an hours drive from her.

And this is the evidence that the “Federals” “killed” and “murdered”? But we are not allowed to criticize. Oh, no. Please no criticism . . . or we will destroy you. We are Women. We are Blacks, Jews, . . . orphans. Can you not see?! We have “heart.” We are Victims! We are justified in destroying you, how dare you question us! Well, congratulations, you have destroyed me. What an accomplishment.

Oh, Louisiana, I am about to die and my heart aches for your people! . . . but not your politicians . . . orphans now they may be . . .
