Is that a pair of vintage Gloria Vanderbilt jeans that he's wearing?
That guy was out of control. I think he's scared because he knows that Bush will handle this masterfully and show great leadership.
They're still angry about his handling of 9-11 and the Florida hurricanes, he looked too Presidential.
It's probably "media poker." I'll see you a photo of a dead body, and raise you a photo of two dead bodies. (I've noticed CNN has show a couple dead bodies too.)
Personally, I really don't have a problem with them showing dead bodies, because that's what is happening and I don't really believe in bridling the press from showing reality.
What I do have a problem with is the attitude I'm hearing from all the reporters, Fox reporters included, it's a kind of "holier than thou" attitude, I can't really put my finger on it. It might just be frustration at seeing so much suffering, so I'm chalking up to that right now.
But I keep thinking, quit talking about it guys and go get those folks some water (also today they keep talking about people don't have water, but everyone I've seen has some sort of bottle in their hand, some even have Gatorade, so supplies are getting to them.) So when you tell me people don't have water, and I see them walking with water, you've gone from reporting to sensationalizing.
any more updates on the ferry pilot?
Last time I went to NO, I stayed at that Ritz. That was a couple of years ago. Come to find out, here on FR even, that I'm wealthy! Cool.
To: jeffers....response to a post I responded to..."
I usually quote the relevent part of the posts I respond to. Someone else said that and I answered similarly to you.
lmao !

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Wal-Mart said Tuesday that it closed more than 120 stores due to Hurricane Katrina while the world's largest retailer and some of its biggest rivals donated money and supplies to residents in affected areas along the Gulf Coast states.
Wal-Mart Stores (Research) said it would donate $1 million to the Salvation Army for relief assistance such as meals for victims and emergency and rescue personnel. ...
Well, I know where I put 'em down. He must've moved them.
Not a word, nurse... sorry
I can say that CNN is reporting lies because I am LISTENING to them.
This is NOT George Bush's fault -- and they are LYING to make that a fact.
As for that 'poor' woman at the Ritz Carlton, why didn't SHE leave? This storm was headed for the Gulf of Mexicon since LAST WEEK.
She had plenty of time to get out -- and the money to do it.
I spoke to my friend in Luling, LA (30 miles from downtown NO) this morning and she expressed concern about the very thing you mentioned. I assured her that any thinking person knows the looters aren't representative of the people of New Orleans.
That is great! thanks
Perhaps it is Jackson County rather than the City of Jackson. Jackson County is one of the Coastal counties and was very hard hit by the hurricane. If I can help in any way, I'll be happy to try. I have phone, cell phone, and internet service.
I'm sure I saw it on one of the threads, just not sure where, but wasn't there a place to check for the military stationed and living in NO? My husband (Navy) says he heard there are 50% of the Navy personnel not accounted for from NO. Would like to give him that info if I could. Thank you.
"Shermy, didn't we hear before the storm that the NO PD sent their people home?"
And they had to remain in the city.
But remember the big flood came a day later. Still, as deployed, many could be lost/isolated.
thanks for the update - how are you holding up?
