I'll be sure to watch this Sunday's MTP. If it's not addressed on his program, they'll hear from me. Has anyone investigated the other charges? The rejected water and cut communication lines? I saw a segment on NBC (Stone Phillips I think) that was reiterating some of these claims without any investigation as to whether they really happened. It was a totally one-sided blame FEMA piece.

How anyone could look at the situation and not blame the Mayor and Governor for the human and economic disaster is beyond me. The jackasses refused food and water from the Red Cross at the Super dome because they didn't want it to become a magnet. They wanted people to leave the city, but they waited too long to call for the mandatory evac. The people had nowhere to go although the hundreds of flooded buses could of removed thousands but that's another story. Unfriggin' real!

If it's addressed at all, they'll excuse Broussard's lies as a result of "pressure and stress", claim that President Bush was personally responsible for ensuring that those nursing home residents were evacuated, and state that the stories about the rejected offers for water and rescue are lies put out by the White House to try and shift blame to the locals. Russert and NBC will never own up to this.
