Excerpts from Malone's conversation with Roggin: "I wasn't going to just write a check, and I didn't want to go to New Orleans where all the celebrities were going (to grandstand). I wanted to go where no one was, and that's why we went to Pascagoula.
Already at this point my respect for Karl Malone just went up 5000%
but he goes on and kicks it up a notch
(bam)
"We took six million dollars of equipment and most of the guys from my company (Malone Properties). But when we got there, they (federal officials) told us that because we wanted to work for free, we had to go home. That we needed a government ID number or a contract to haul out debris.
"I said to them, 'bullsh--', we took 30 pieces of equipment and traveled nine hours and we're going to clean up some lots before we leave. So I told them 'I'm getting on my truck, now try to get me off.' I had my security guys there and they tried to stop us but they couldn't - and we cleared 115 houses.
"Then they started to help us ... we had 46 trucks trying to keep up with us. I can't describe the scene. People were fighting over a pile of garbage."
I said to some one the Federal government would be doing something new to irritate me and this is it.
Some one who has the proper insurance and is a legit contractor in the #@(#*@# state of the disaster and wants to work for free
sign them up.
This is why the country has so many stupid problems because the government has no common sense
