You go stand on that overpass for 5 days without food and water. Then you might better understand Shep's perspective.
He has been showing scenes of that same overpass, without any help for 5 days. Earlier today, some trucks did drop off water containers.
People are dying while politico's are patting themselves on the back for 'doing such a grand job'. That isn't worth crap when people are in need of water and food.
Amen! Shep was mad that the mayor personally moved people who were "stranded" in a hotel in front of people who had endured the horror of the Superdome. He said he wasn't blaming anyone, just pointing out that no had helped the people on the overpass. What he was mad at was O'Reilly's attempt to bloviate over him.
Shep looks like he's had a shower and washed his hair today. He seems to be clean and wearing clean clothes. Wonder how that happened?
I agree with you 100%. Shep has done everything to bring attention to the pain of these people for the past 5 days and no one was paying attention. As you said, politicians are taking bows and the people are dying in the streets. They better recognize pretty soon that they do not have a pivot man down there to take control. No one knows where to go or what to do. I have never seen anything like this in my life.
I thought Phone Bill did a pretty good job tonight. He wasn't hysterical like he was last night. And he tried to calmly be part of the solution, rather than being part of the problem.
I haven't seen anyone patting themselves on the back. They're all working hard trying to do the best they can in an overwhelming situation.
B/c people need HELP DESPERATELY!
Shep has been there for 5 DAYS he has NOT SEEN THE RED CROSS!!!
[Not shouting at you. I am just as upset as they are.]
maybe some people should keep an emergency supply of food and water on hand to help themselves?--however, I wouldn't be a bit surprised that most of the citizens living in cities are hand to mouth and can't go 2 days without a grocery store--all you folks listening to the damned MSM with their 'hate bush crap' had another shot at him over this--plenty of blame to go around but the Mayor and Governor (both Rats) were responsible for their voters/constituents and both did a lousy job of protecting their welfare voters so now they must put blame for their incompetence and stupidity on someone else--that clown of a police commissioner crying the blues on the tv cameras (always ready for such crap) along with the NO 'emergency manager' is a damned disgrace--88 of the cops sent by the police commish couldn't even get into the center to attempt to enforce law and order but had to 'retreat' when fired on--50 armed citizens with guts (led by the mayor, ha,ha) could have shot enough of the trash to stop the rapes and worse--of course, all you Bush haters can shoot your mouths off and feel good but wouldn't, couldn't, do a damned bit better in such a horrendous situation--this should be a warning to every city in our country to get rid of 'demonrats' leadership before an emergency hits home--I realize that "it is all W's fault" that NO was placed in a swamp and has sunk lower over the years so it could be flooded easily-
Didn't know Shep was standing there for 5 days without food or water. He must be some kind of cyborg.
I think I would be absolutely bonkers also were I there seeing this in person.
My wife asked the same thing about Whorealdo, if they could get the reporters to those spots, why didn't they bring food?
