Rachel Maddow as sub host for Al Franken, was interviewing Julia Reed, a well-known writer who lives in New Orleans. Reed said she was "ashamed" to have the mayor and governor she has. Both of them blew it big time. The mayor, she claimed, was on radio Monday night downplaying the situation, and saying that people breaking into pharmacies was not a big deal. She said New Orleans is unsafe most of the time -- cops can't stop the gangs -- so officials should have known a hurricane would create big-time lawlessness
She said homes on St. Charles Ave are now occupied by people who didn't own them. "Desperate people" replied Maddow -- No, "lawbreakers," said Reed.
A later caller complained that Reed sounded like a Rush Limbaugh
I have read actual inmates were released prior to the hurricane as they had not plan to evacuate them.
You have the wolves preying on the welfare ward sheep.
The DUmmies aren't going to like this; they've all but canonized the mayor.
That's truth, you idiot!
I'll bet she won't be invited back.
Wow, on Air America no less.
This is a myth...
Rush would take this as a compliment.
This is what I keep stating. The people of LA aren't going to go along with the MSM agenda. They aren't going to go along because their own homes are gone and politics takes second place to the Truth their Governor and mayor were incompetant. They are going to make them pay.
who is she? do we have bio? pics? ,e-mail to congratulate her?
How refreshing to hear a voice of reason on Dead Air America. Too bad there aren't any listeners.
Probably the first rational speaker ever to appear on that show!
Only a rumor. They wee sitting on the on ramp most of Tuesday.
And the tapes will be sought out and destroyed.
AIR AMERICA: "The interview with Julia Reed never happened because it was in violation of the second law of the Devilcrats: Bush's Fault."
The first law of the Devilcrats being : Anything good cannot be BUSH's fault.
Looks like the guest screening process at Air-Pravda needs some re-tooling.
It is amusing to watch the national anchors on the networks excusing these people, then are just shocked with it turns out that a number of the looters weren't just trying to survive, they were trying to enrich themselves.
LOL!
You're kidding. How can they possibly attribute anything good that's happened to this guy?
CNN ran to interview the first busload of "refugees" coming to the Astrodome from the Superdome. Two very angry black women started yelling that "Morial would have taken care of us", "Morial is a leader", "Nagin doesn't care", "Nagin IS a disaster"
CNN immediately went back to studio. Never showed the clip again.
Wow, the world is upside down.
