Yes, but Shep is down there showing a pretty true picture of survivors and conditions in NO. He isn't safe and comfortable in Baton Rouge.
As for Gov. Blanco, I saw her a couple of times and she looked teary and uttered a few meaningless platitudes. She needs to watcvh a Margaret Thatvcher documentary and grow a backbone.

Shep is getting paid, watered, fed and sheltered.
Acting self-righteous about the progress or direction of recovery is depraved conceit on his part OR on the part of any reporter/newsroom that affects the same attitude.
He/They aren't doing a damn thing to fix the problem, so they're in no position to second-guess the responders this early amidst a natural catastrophe. It made me sick.
I thought Shepherd Smith was gonna blow a gasket yesterday afternoon. He was just aghast that no one had brought any food or water to the people on the bridges who had been dropped off there after having been plucked off the rooftops. At one point, Shepherd had a woman sitting in the shade of their van with a 5 day old baby. She and several other family members had been forced to their attic after the flooding started. Someone came by in a boat the rescued them, then dropped them off at the highway and told them to walk toward the Superdome. She was exhausted and the baby was burning up. Shep's producer jumped in front of a passing police car and had them take the mother and baby to where they could get treated.
