Have had the Weather Channel on since getting home a little while ago hoping to hear news of how southeastern NC fared in the hurricane but everyone is reporting from farther up the coast.However, I just hear a report that tickled me greatly.
..... A reporter from ABC news was being interviewed (I guess from a local station and not the network but I don't know for sure ... since I never watch that network I wouldn't recognize their reporters). He was standing in front of a badly-damaged building at Atlantic Beach and said that the citizens weren't waiting on federal help but had started today to repair the damage to their property on their own. *ZING*
..... Then he said that he was amazed to see that people in the area (which apparently suffered the most from Ophelia) were still taking up collections today for the victims of Katrina in spite of their own losses. *ZING* *ZING*
Made me right proud of my state!!!
DAMN I missed it! Anyone have the capability to post mpeg or something from webcast or something? You know THAT'LL never be seen again.
I loved this! I was so proud to hear those folks talk and elude that garbage the correspondent was trying to shove down their throats!
How come this was moved to personal and bloggers? This is a discussion of the follow-up of the President's speech.
GOODNIGHT AND GOODBYE TO NBC, A NETWORK THAT HAS FALLEN INTO THE ABYSS OF INCREDULITY. (GOOD RIDDANCE)
The leftists are going to hate it when the displaced Louisanna folks return to the voting booths and vote republican.
Doesn't matter where they are, but I think a lot of black folk are going to remember how the dems failed, yet again, and how the besmirched republicans and christians came to their aide.
Maybe that is why Nagin has bought a home in Dallas. Big enough city to hide in.
She stated that she was not angry at Bush, but that she was angry at Nagin and Blaco for their lack of response. She also wanted to know why they didn't use the school buses to evacuate the city.
The RATS will be using the opportunity to "Foam at the Mouth" (and with the help of it's ally, the MSM, and say that we know need to choose between rebuilding Iraq OR rebuilding New Orleans. Can't afford both.
This may prove to be a brilliant exit strategy.
No s**t..really?
BTTT
I caught a few minutes of Rita Cosby on MSNBC (as much as I can stand), and it sounded like she was trying to encourage the people she was interviewing to bash President Bush.
Man! It was priceless, how those people were obviously THINKING FOR THEMSELVES. That reporter kept couching his questions in every which a way in order to get even one THIS IS ALL BUSH'S FAULT! but NO DICE. One younger lady laid it directly at Nagin's doorstep and they kept mentioning all the buses the local government had at their disposal. One older lady said that she had a chance to evacuate before the storm but didn't believe it would be bad, so she didn't. These people were THINKING FOR THEMSELVES and it was FANTASTIC! President Bush has allowed Nagin and Blanco to save some major face, the mark of a superior man.
are you sure they didnt accuse Bush of planting Condi Rice's relatives to be interviewed?
