Lou Dobbs is getting ticked, too... just asked his reporter on the ground why if the city is predominately black, the mayor is black and the council are black is this prejudice keeping people from being properly prepared? She kind of back-tracked in her comments after he nailed her on it...

I just sent off this email to Lou:

I've been watching coverage since last weekend. The people in charge in NOLA dropped the ball from the time they knew the hurricane was coming towards them. The first buses were loaded by police officers who were black, most of the people I see in the shelters are black -- which is understandable given the preponderance of blacks in NOLA -- so how can they say whites were evacuated vs blacks... if they are talking about the whites who heeded the call to evacuate and drove out of NOLA in their automobiles before the storm.... how is THAT George Bush's fault??

Good for Lou. No pun intended, but it pleases me when someone calls a spade a spade.

Good for you! I have sent so many emails to these folks...even though I know they don't read them...at least it's theraputic for me :) Glad to see Lou Dobbs step up the plate like that...but I still won't watch CNN :)
