Katrina essentially missed NOLA. The devastation that ensued was the result of flooding caused by decades of corrupt practices in building and maintaining levees, not of a windstorm.
And of course by GW Bush sending in special forces to sabotage the levees so as to hurt black people.
And the responsible reporters were saying, “Yes, the bulk of the storm was to the {east, I think}, but we are not out of the woods yet.”
Shep is just a prissy little ass-hat.
He inserts comments as “toss aways” trying to be an every man. The problem is that much of the time his toss-away lines are simply inaccurate or biased in a way that makes his delivery of any real news suspect.
My God, there are people on MSNBC that do a better job reporting the news.
