Guy from the environmental department of St. Bernard's Parish. Said that people are dying on their roofs. They are playing the race card, but the people in the suburbs, which are predominantly white, are dying in St. Bernard's Parrish, Saint Tammany Parish, etc.

Have you seen the new DnC/msm talking points from the Jimbo Witt (former FEMA PUKE)that Fema should not have been made part of Homeland Security? Horse Hockey, he knows better than to stick his nose in, but he is sticking his fat ugly toe under the tent with the Commie media's help, including Fox.

[Molly Pitcher]

I saw that too. Predicted to my husband he wouldn't be on the air very long, and sure enough, he wasn't...mentioned Plaquemines Parish, St. Tammany, besides, St. B.

I'm not Howlin, but I'm beginning to think public hearings that lay out how the President's hands were tied until today when he basically said screw the law and send in the calvary is a GREAT idea... and Frist is looking better to me today down there working as a doctor he is in his element.

This is Al Gores shining moment leave him alone....he is worth a 1/2 million new Republican votes in '06!

Wait until John Q. Public see's the ALMOST PRESIDENT!

We just entered Monty Python land//

ROFL!

[Crawdad]

If there are hearings, the Dems and some RINO's will blast Bush. The others will blast the inept LA politicians. Which will get reported?

Here is some of what California is doing to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. In addition, the University Sytem is opening it's doors to students in the affected area for placement. There are hurricane relief drives in virtually every city in the State. While described as the left coast of the USA, Californians are well aware of disastrous events, like wild fires and earthquakes, and their consequences, and are responding like communities all over the USA to events on the Gulf Coast.

I hear we are getting $$ from other countries. Saudi Arabia is giving about $20 million and are pumping more oil. Frankly, we do not need their help. We have spent billions of $$ to protect the playboy princes of the Kingdom, and what do we get, nothing but exported terrorists killing innocent civilians in the USA and elsewhere.

Don't know one kind of coal from another, but it all burns.

[LadyBuzz]

we need to do some rough math - FNC said 95,000 have been evacuated & didn't we think 100,000 to 125,000 stayed behind? are we looking at a 5,000 -30,000 death toll?

I am watching Fox, forget what I said last nite.

Fox 6:18 cst

Just interviewing an LA official who was asking that the word get out for whites stuck on roof tops in other parrishes. They were dying on rooftops, he said. The LA official wanted the reporter to get the word out. LA official was quite emphatic.

The reporter spent all of 10 seconds on him, even literally taking the mike back from the man.

The reporter had to cut to some inane story of what was going on in Texas.

Then, cut to commerical.

---Blood pressure going up again....

[Arizona Carolyn]

Is this guy on drugs????

[jhny7]

Where is Al Gore?
why is he not jumping in the ring on Pres. Bush. Saw the FEMA guy on last segment when he defended PRES reporter kinda cut him off.

[samantha]

Key words are "ex girlfriend".

[conservative cat]

Well, that's not quite fair. I am not a big Rush fan... I agree with him 100% some of the time and other times I think he is completely full of crap.

[Types_with_Fist]

You know that guy? Saw him too. He's right. There's even more dreadful news downriver.

[RDTF]

Thanks for that info - I hadn't heard yet that Saudi Arabia ponied up some cash.
