Do you?
I can see with my own eyes the neglect. Just the "visual" of those people being aided a few days ago with food/water drops or INFO being bullhorned to them would've made a difference.
At this point, what's gone on at the center of New Orleans outside that dome and that convention center is nothing to be proud of and what I find amazing is that the news reporters are all over that place - have they outsmarted FEMA?
Guy on Fox just said his friend is still on his roof needing rescue.
I wondered:
If she'd ever voted for him before and what she thought he'll be running for in the future.
In case anybody missed it, Tony Orlando said the annual Labor Day MDA Telethon will be used to raise money for both causes this year. I didn't catch how that's supposed to work, exactly.
however, I still think these forces are under command of the governor. that is the big problem here, I understand why, but she is an idiot.
I saw that report and thought the same thing. By the way..I like your tag line.
Look at picture onpost 19 of that thread...It's the picture I saw a coupleof days ago....Can't url to copy.
Please remind me WHO told people to go the Convention Center - there were no supplies there. I do remember hearing the mayor telling folks to go to the Superdome but not the Convention center. The mayor & gov sent thousands of folks to places they damn well were not equipped to handle them & know it's the feds fault.
I bet that's the same bunch reported yesterday.
part of the show, and part of the $$$s, will go to Katrina relief.
However, Tony then put his foot in his mouth when he defended the rap star comment on the NBC telethon last night.
Thanks. What is it again? Have a heck of a time recalling it. . .
Maybe so, but couldn't they be bussed to the Dome from there? It would be the logical thing to do, if the Dome is the only exit point.
What I'm curious about is whether these news crews take in water & food with them and bring out a few people when they come back out.
Meanwhile, the female co-anchor of WWL-TV just quoted scripture on live TV. Guess she just lost all her ACLU browie points.
I've never understood why pols get into congrats mode so quickly during a crisis. Each and every time, there are logistical problems because each event has unique difficulties. You would think they would learn to just thank the volunteers and to remind the public that there will be problems during first responder efforts.
Tony defended the remark - jeez these folks are pissing off a lot of folks (like me) who would otherwise give generously
I still don't understand that point.
Bernard Kerik on FNC now, talking about the terrible local response.
Jerry Lewis was on LKL last night, and said that while he cannot just funnel the donations to the MD telethon without permission of the donors, he is going to suggest that if people are donating $20 to MD, then instead just give MD $10 and send the rest to hurricane relief.
I'm watching it too. He is doing well don't you think?
