I think President will rue the day he hired the FEMA director. He is incompetent. His misteps are adding up quickly.

It would be an incredibly smooth move to accept his resignation and appoint Rudy to a two year term.

"Just saw beautiful video feed:
Jackson Square is in good shape. Trees are down. But Cafe du Monde is still there!!!!!!!!!!! St. Louis Cathedral looked beautiful!!!!!!!!!!"

That was nice to see.

[A Citizen Reporter]

I haven't been following the live threads. I heard an unsubstantiated report on local radio this afternoon (the source was "the internet") This talk jockey said that 100 prisoners had been moved over to the Superdome and released in there during the evacuation. Did anybody see that?

[Howlin]

You know, he kind of fascinates me; he does some interviews really well, but this week, he's completely lost control, almost sobbing at times; why, you'd think they boy had led a sheltered life or something. :-)

[Mo1]

Yes, it is; and every once in a while they'll say "It's been 4 days, 12 hours, and 10 minutes since this people had relief."

I can't watch TV any more .. I am getting to the point that I don't give a flying hoot anymore

THANK YOU MEDIA FOR TURNING OFF THE PUBLIC .../ sarcasm >

[Jrabbit]

LOL

I bet that's it! dang FEMA

[oceanview]

its a thankless job, he will probably leave that post after this is all over. I can't blame him really, its a no-win job.

[Howlin]

No, I mean when did they set it to......what time?

[sinkspur]

The NO morgue was still under water as of mid afternoon.

Unembalmed bodies will burst after a week in the water, and all that bacteria will spill out. It doesn't appear body recovery is going to start any time soon.

I'm betting those bodies are going to have to be burned or buried in mass graves. They certainly can't be buried in New Orleans.

[Soul Seeker]

That's because hayley deserved the praise. I seriously am thinking he needs to be persuaded to run in '08. He's the first Republican I've been impressed with.

[Dolphy]

I've been waiting for SOMEBODY, ANYBODY to say that stuff.........and I'm in a quandry now, because I really do not like Trent Lott!

I understand. I'm not a huge Pataki fan but when he was asked if they needed to name a cabinet level leader he said no, they need local leadership. That man knows a bit about national tragedies and how to handle them.

[LadyBuzz]

when my lib friends talk about impeaching Pres Bush - I tell them - go right ahead, then we'll have Pres Cheney - shuts 'em up every time

[oceanview]

Rudy would never take that job, its a thankless post.

[shezza]

But, even in that case, troops going on oversea deployments prepare for days before going.

Geez, try WEEKS.

[Laverne]

Who has the clock? Is it that clymer Olberman? Someone needs to send them an email that says: T-48 "President declares Lousisia a Disaster Zone"

[CedarDave]

Why did they take you off all the sidebars? Are you about to be banned for two being too truthful?

[185JHP]

Thanks for the good work you're doing!

[Mo1]

This talk jockey said that 100 prisoners had been moved over to the Superdome and released in there during the evacuation. Did anybody see that?

I heard they were evacuated .. but I haven't heard where they were sent to

[Jrabbit]

LOL

That's right! hahahaha
