Connie gets it!Neither will I. She's sharp, a classy lady. Did you also notice that when she tried to take the microphone to finish her answer, Reynolds pulled it away?
I'm posting the context for the record. The typos are theirs.
Then there was this:Reynolds elicited reaction from the group sitting in chairs: “I'd like to get the reaction of Connie London who spent several horrible hours at the Superdome. You heard the President say retpeaedly that you are not alone, that the country stands beside you. Do you believe him?”
Connie London: “Yeah, I believe him, because here in Texas, they have truly been good to us. I mean-”
Reynolds: “Did you get a sense of hope that you could return to your home one day in New Orleans?”
London: “Yes, I did. I did.”
Reynolds: “Did you harbor any anger toward the President because of the slow federal response?”
London: “No, none whatsoever, because I feel like our city and our state government should have been there before the federal government was called in. They should have been on their jobs.”
Reynolds: “And they weren't?”
London: “No, no, no, no. Lord, they wasn't. I mean, they had RTA buses, Greyhound buses, school buses, that was just sitting there going under water when they could have been evacuating people.”
Reynolds: “Do you blame anybody for this?”London: “Yes. I mean, they've been allocated federal funds to fix the levee system, and it never got done. I fault the mayor of our city personally. I really do.”
Nagin is screwed, and he's going to take Blanco down with him.
bttt
Reynolds: “Do you blame anybody for this?”

I cheered when I heard her say this. The MSM tried so hard to present the coloured people of NO as stupid nitwits unable to think for themselves. Nagin and Blanco are going to discover they are a whole lot smarter than they gave them credit for, methinks.
Connie gets it!
