I didn't see this, does anyone know how Larry King reacted to this crap?

[msnimje]

If they loot, we must shoot.

[bethtopaz]

Shut up and sing, dammit!

[CaptainK]

Celine should fly all the looters to Las Vegas to see her show for free!

"Oh, they're stealing 20 pair of jeans or they're stealing television sets. Who cares? They're not going to go too far with it. Maybe those people are so poor, some of the people who do that they're so poor they've never touched anything in their lives. Let them touch those things for once."

I'm guessing that she doesn't own a store in New Orleans.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

It was UN F'ing believable! larry just sat there.HA. He kept trying to get her to calm down and she kept wiping her nose and face with her hands from the crying. YEESH! It is worth a repeat video...I wish we could get the video on Freeper. Her hands were flailing in the air and none of her tears messed her make up and then, bam! On cue Larry asked her to sing a song and she sang.HA.

[JoeSixPack1]

It's refreshing to see an idiot with deep pockets kick in a few bucks to cover the cost of her ignorant press statement.

If she kicks in another million, I'd let her spout all the crap she wants for at least another minute or 2. :-)

From another thread:

Q: One quick follow-up. Is it fair to say, using the convention center as an example, that one reason it took until Friday to get aid in is the National Guard needed time to build up a response team with military police to ensure law and order because the New Orleans Police Department had degraded so much?

GEN. BLUM: That is not only fair, it is accurate.

Looters stealing diapers? Not a problem.
Looters shooting at rescue workers? That will slow down relief efforts and cause people to die.

Meanwhile, actor Sean Penn made his own personal attempt to aid those in New Orleans, but the small boat he was piloting to launch a rescue attempt sprang a leak.

New keyboard, please.

[liberallarry]

Penn is finding out how difficult it is to get even simple things done...but at least he's trying.
I like the story about someone commandeering a bus.

As for the looting. I can see it both ways. Many of these people are society's dregs...touching wealth for perhaps the first and only time. But maybe they're stealing from someone who's worked damn hard to get what he has - so shoot them.

A friend reminded me that the Irish of a century and a half ago had the reputation blacks now have - and for the same reason; they'd been treated like dogs for so long that they acted like dogs.

[mmercier]

Yet another country heard from.

The wife let me get drunk tonight and that is a good thing, because tomorrow I will not remember this dumb holyweirdo thread.

[buckeyesrule]

I would have to loot to afford a ticket to one of her concerts!

[B Knotts]

I've had it with these self-important goofs. I don't listen to their crappy music or their inane movies, and I wish everyone else would just start ignoring them.

[Lurker]

I wonder if Miss Dione will be giving out her address.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

Let'em loot, rape, shoot and scoot. Damn, I is a rapper.

[Yaelle]

Maybe those people are so poor, some of the people who do that they're so poor they've never touched anything in their lives. Let them touch those things for once.

Celine, what if one of those men was so horny and had never touched a girl. Would you let him rape your little girl for 4 hours 'til she died?

[river rat]

Performers will NEVER learn, they're paid to perform NOT think or preach..

Most could hurt themselves trying to think...

"Meanwhile, actor Sean Penn made his own personal attempt to aid those in New Orleans, but the small boat he was piloting to launch a rescue attempt sprang a leak. The 45-year-old Oscar winner had planned on rescuing stranded children, but an Agence France-Presse report indicates he apparently forgot to plug a hole in the vessel's bottom, which took on water within seconds of its launch. Asked about his goal in the soaked city, Penn replied: "Whatever I can do to help." But with the boat loaded with members of his entourage, including his personal photographer, one bystander taunted: "How are you going to get any people in that thing?"

As tragic as this whole thing has been, excuse me while I say...

BWAAHHAAHAAAAAAHHAAAA!

[Stew Padasso]

What a degenerate. Man these people are crawling out from under the rocks.
