Blanco is being interviewed on CNN. The reporter is baiting her. "Do you blame yourself for the deaths? When exactly did you request the troops? When specifically will they be here? Is it too little too late?" As bad as she is, he is being a total asshole. I would end the interview if I were her.
CNN: Bush to make remarks from New Orleans...???
Did you see Soledad O'Brien's interview with Mike Brown of FEMA? Right before Blanco?
Never, ever, have I wanted to slap anyone through my TV as badly as I wanted to slap her. I turned it off before the Blanco appearance, but I have not seen anyone treated as despicably as Ms. O'Brien treated Mr. Brown.
I would like to lift her up in a helicopter and dump her in the bowels of N.O. right now and say, ok, go to it, babe, this is your job, YOU fix it. Now bye byeeeee!!!! Oh, and BTW, babe, Mike Brown and President Bush send regards.
So I say to you, this is ambush journalism morning on CNN, but I would be surprised if the newsguy's interview with Blanco was a fraction as bad as what O'Brien did to Mike Brown.
