Anybody watching Anderson Cooper now? He's losing it publicly, blasting Sen. Landrieu, saying she doesn't understand the pain of the New Orleans survivors. He seems traumatized by having witnessed a couple of dead bodies in the streets. Cooper seems like he's descending into madness.

should the docs have medivaced them out Saturday or Sunday?
Let them know, for all the good it may do...
I gave them a blast about the O'Briens behavior this morning.

Unfortunately, it was only audio, via microphone...but still a hoot - I could mentally see his jaw drop.
I couldn't believe my ears when O'Reilly said on the air that he wished Sheppard Smith would win the highest journalism award for his excellent coverage. !!! Shep is doing a great job, but is it appropriate to talk about awards? Let's not talk about celebrity awards while the crisis is peaking.
Cooper looked weird this morning, or maybe that was a replay of last night? Anyway, I clicked him on around 4 am, and he looked hollow-eyed and frantic, hadn't shaved, mumbling bizarre stuff along the likes of 'Godzilla Meets Mothra'...Cooper would be terrified, screaming as Godzilla stomped him.
"FEMA director already had a run in with media earlier today."
Why is he spending so much time arguing with the MSM when he should be overseeing the relief effort? I wasn't impressed.
Landrieu is hillery in the making. She's very savvy, politically.
Thank God for Americans like Lorell.
He was losing it as he was standing in Waveland...and for good reason. The place has bodies all over the place the last few days and homes have been blown off the face of the map.
"I think I would have taken my chances in my home - with Katrina, looters and all."
I would rather die than live with those folks in the Dome.
They are loving being there, they feel self righteous right now. The media hounds will over emphasis every bad thing, report on every tragedy and underplay the heroism of many of the people their in New Orleans. They will not show any restraint it is not in their nature. Your comment concerning our safety here posting from our computers may be true at the moment, but I have over the last 20 years served my country, interdicted drug boats in treacherous conditions on the high sea's, saved with the rest of my crew mates many, many Haiten, Cubans and Chinese Migrants, Sustained 30+ foot seas to rescue folks from drowning and exposure and along with my fellow Coast Guard folks went into harms way any time there was a need. I will bet that that broad brush you just used painted many folks here who have also given much of themselves to help other people. I hope you will reconsider your comments. There are Police Officer's, Firefighters, Nurses and Doctors, and many, many Vets who post on these topics. I also think it is very poor taste to make political issues out of this tragedy at this moment. Their will be plenty of time to critique in the comming months ahead, whom ever did or did not do what will answer.
And if he didn't brief the media you and others would be accusing him of a cover up.
Oh, dear, now you've let the cat out of the bag!
We've watched Shep in awe, claiming the people on "the bridge" where he's perched have been walking for three days without food and water! All the while he's reporting his drama king news horror stories, his cameras capture cars and trucks wizzing by! Now you tell me, if you had been without food and water for THREE DAYS, would you not stand in front of the highway and risk getting run over for some help? Would you not poke your mug in front of the Fox News camera pleaing for help? Would you not fake a heart attack and fall down on the pavement beside Shep's ankles to get some attention?
IMO, Shep Smith has lost all credibility in his obvious attempt to embellish a horrible situation for his ratings prize. I'm disgusted with him and hope someone at Fox News will quit relishing in their ratings long enough to try and report responsible news stories!
So what station are you watching?
You don't have to like the guy. . .but why just 'eat our own' on this.
Now, following a woman, (as per Anderson/CNN) filming as she picks through the remains of her home. . .up close/personal and getting choked up talking about it. . .now that is 'drama' and with some Queen thrown in. . .
Who is ALICE COOPER?oh, sorry. No, I had been wacthing CNN because I thought they were doing better. But this afternoon as soon as Cafferty came on and slammed BUSH i turned it off, remembering why I don't watch them in the first place.
they found one they like now, saying "more and more and more and more" people are dying at the convention center
Who is Paula talking to?
