Bush’s fault....

Lots of parallels in this story...

Because, as the reporters translate it, there is no word for “thank you” in Haitian.

The last line could also describe the MSM reponse to Katrina..

Because, as the reporters translate it, there is no word for “thank you” in New Orleans Dialect.

...and this section...

It was a perfect storm. No outside access, no communication, no transportation, no infrastructure, no central authority, a Haitian government that was slow to ask for or accept aid or advice, and guys with machetes intent on looting and robbing whatever and whoever they could.

...could have easily been stated as...

It was a perfect storm. No outside access, no communication, no transportation, no infrastructure, no local police force, a New Orleans/Louisiana government that was slow to ask for or accept aid or advice, and guys with guns intent on looting and robbing whatever and whoever they could.

Sounds like the MSM just recycles the same words...:^)

This is the same type of reporting as in the Katrina mini-disaster. It seems if you are a black community then it is bad and if you are a white community (read as midwest town after tornado) it is not news.

One of the largest natural disasters in the history of the hemisphere, with a massive population in a dysfunctional society, and the United States is being kicked in the teeth for not having a tent, sleeping bag, water and food to everybody the next day.

This is exactly the situation in New Orleans during and after Katrina except it was even tougher there. The city was under water. Yet, the Democrats and the media jumped all over Bush for every problem and for not immediately solving them.
