Brit normally has fridays off. He's also the Washington DC Managing Editor so I don't think he's fired. I don't know why he wasn't on thursday.

"..ran out of water, and could not now flush a toilet...'
Just a very minor detail in an excellent post - but the water in the tank is drinkable - DON"T FLUSH! Sounds like these folks were very couragous and intent on doing anything they thought could help there's or others situation. Glad they got out.

Didn't you actually read it?Sure did. And other tourists found other ways out, some hitch hiked and one couple even payed a limo driver a couple thousand to drive them out. What's your point? Some people are smart enough to LEAVE when told to do so. Some are not.

The incompetence is beyond belief. Governments and beaucracies have never been known for their high efficiency, but I never imagined anything like this could happen in America.

They're not even calling the show "Special Report with Brit Hume"--usually they'll run the logo, etc., and say who's "in" for Brit that day. Hasn't been done. I sure hope this pair isn't replacing him.

What's your point?You didn't catch it the first time.
Wouldn't do for him to bother repeating it.

some hitch hiked I have no idea what shape these 40 somethings were in but if you REALLY read it, you'd know they were told repeatedly that buses were coming. They did finally get themselves out.
I sincerely hope you are never stranded someplace. Truly.

If you really want your ire to increase read the Promulgation of Emergency Order by the Mayor and Governor and the Press Release of August 27, 2005.

What is the definition of Patrons of the hotels? I am assuming the guests were not invited to the evacuation. This entire fiasco needs to be investigated. But then again, the money is better used to help those in need in NO. The politicians somehow or other were able to stay high and dry and well fed.

I don't understand why the word "stranded" is so hard to comprehend.

"She told us something very scary, on Wed when she was calling at about 10:30am, she actually (you have to know her to know that only she could do this) got to talk to a man with the Red Cross with trucks, supplies, etc in their trucks only awaiting the Governor to allow them to get in."
Can you verify this? Would she? Because there was some talk about the dems stonewalling the rescue effort and if so, then Blanco is in on it.
