OR reports that help has arrived at the hospital where that doctor called in from at the beginning of the show.
Geraldo is hysterical....someone drug the POS
I was thinking he is on drugs.....
Surely you jest.
The superdome was a hell hole, a few had misbehaved but that place was filled with women and babies.
The rule of evac is that sick go then women and children.
those at the Hyatt had been in heaven compared to the dome.
BOR has the ethics of a carnival barker.
Standard talking points robotted by those led into the clueless-ness by Lib-Dems.... tsk tsk.
Don't let your blood pressure rise, stupidity has a way of sinking, and of sinking itself. Every time it is tried.
governor.
A hurricane survivor pours water on herself after being given food and water supplies by the U.S. National Guard at the New Orleans Convention Center September 2, 2005. After five days of surviving Hurricane Katrina, the heat, shootings and other unrest, thousands at the Convention Center were given food and water.
How many Freepers bought Geraldo's performance???
I just have a sick sense of humor and always appreciate a sick sarcastic slam. :)
I happened to fly home today from a business trip to Mexico City and on the flight to Atlanta we flew past New Orleans and Biloxi / Gulfport / Mobile. I didn't get a good look at NO but the Mississippi coast looked bad even from altitude -- very few vehicles, for one thing.
I say F--- the Lamestream media and the Sharptons and Jacksons. They will provide no help. As usual, our GREAT President keeps his head, does the right thing and acts like a responsible leader in a crisis. The carpers, as usual, make things worse. So what? Americans will respond to this disaster as we always do -- with support, determination and resolution.
I admire hugely those who have responded positively -- the chopper pilots, bus drivers, Governor Perry, doctors and nurses in N.O., and those who send help. The victims who are suffering -- I won't attack them, they are in dire straits. The criminals need to be dealt with -- and the troops will do that.
But the Lamestream Media and race-baiters --- I spit on them.
"When Mr Bush visits New Orleans, he may have to answer increasing criticism that his Administration took money from a program to reinforce the levee banks to fund the war on Iraq.
The former head of the US Army Corps of Engineers, the agency that handles the infrastructure of the nation's waterways, said the damage in New Orleans probably would have been much less extensive had flood-control efforts been fully funded."
That's the part of the article that got to me.
Maybe you ought to send that picture to BOR, Geraldo and the NOPD Chief..they dont seem to know the score...
CNN and the CBC are trying to cause race riots.
" OReilly and Hunt "
Col Hunt, after his investigation :
Gov Blanco had her Louisiana National Guard troops and assests prepositioned-but, did not pull the trigger.
President Bush should have realized the collapse of state govt ( my words ) and federalized troops.
Legal considerations here, but, that could have been overcome.
Louisiana National Guard were staged 30 miles north of NO- Governor had no eyes on the ground, no communication in NO to assess the situation-people not evacing, levees breaking,etc.
Everyone had 5 days notice storm was coming at state level and no prep was done.
Blame falls on Gov Blanco, Gov Blanco, Gov Blanco and secondarily -President Bush for trusting that Democrat Governor Blanco had situation in hand.
Wow, does BOR have one of those cool red phones on his desk? What a moron.
You guys gotta understand Geraldo BOR and FOx. They are setting up the stage for the big rescue. He is creating drama not to incite a riot but to make Fox the hero.
I dont know who is paying for the buses by BOR clearly was setting this up by listening to what people needed ...and then they are saved because of his program.
Just happened with Charity Hospital.
to be fair, he was talking about the evacuation. he didn't say people were starving. but people are sick there, and that chopper team brough a triage unit in for medical needs.
Darn...I missed it. I switched to the local NBC affiliate which has its employees out high school football games collecting money for the Red Cross.
