I just saw the Geraldo drama. He is shameless.
Along with Shemp.
I have had it.
This whole huricane/flood thing and much of the
drama and loss of life was not necessary
The worthless Gov. and ball-less mayor are to blame.
Enough warning, ask the feds to line up help before
it hits just in case.
Nooooo. After the sh** hits the fan and the place
is flooded out, they want people to march in through
the flood and they wonder were the help is.
Because they are so stupid and in many ways created
a big part of this themselves and then blame the
President who cannot supercede established laws.
Why don't you tell us how you really feel? /sarcasm off/
The Governor comes over to me as she really does not know what to do
I smell a CNN contract for Shep.
"Because they are so stupid and in many ways created

Totally agree w your entire post. Just saw an older black woman in the Astro Dome on Gretta's show. She said, "George W Bish will never get my vote", then whips her glasses off and continues, "Look at me, Look at me GOOD!"
Guess no one has told her he can't run again, and, of course, she's not going to blame the worthless wonders of LA - Blanco and the Mayor
I sent the following to about 300 media outlets today. Although I provided the link, I sent them the whole article, but will not post all of it here, due to length.
Before you read the article, some questions for media are:
1. Why don't you assume some responsibility for reporting after the hurricane, that New Orleans had escaped a big one, only to find out much later that they had not? Although it's not your fault because you didn't know any better, you're now blaming the president for not doing more immediately, even though you were telling us that things "weren't that bad".
2. Why don't you accept responsibility for: in your eagerness to embarrass or blame President Bush, you were reporting shootings, etc., as if they were massive--which in turn made people afraid to help? If it wasn't too unsafe for you to be there, why were you trying to scare others, more than was necessary?
3. Where is any blame placed on the Governor of Louisiana and the Mayor of New Orleans for not doing more and being more prepared?
4. Why is all the blame placed on the president when he didn't know (due to your reporting) until late Monday or early Tuesday, how bad the situation was and the Governor was on TV saying everything was under control (more or less)?
5. Where is the blame (for those who are now complaining) for not assuming some responsibility for themselves and for REFUSING to leave the city when they were asked to? (this isn't meant for those who COULDN'T leave, for various reasons)
6. Why isn't it being reported that organization is hard to accomplish when there is no way to communicate or no way to get to the area? ie no cell service, no electricity, streets flooded, etc.
7. What are those who are complaining the most, doing about the situation?
8. Why aren't the men out trying to help the city, rather than raping women and shooting at people and rescuers?
9. Last, but not least, why don't you report that the president's presence in the area would have slowed down recovery, had he gone in the very beginning, due to security, etc., that has to surround him (i.e. no other aircraft could have been in the air, searching for and rescuing people) and why was he not given any credit for flying over the area on Wednesday, even as thugs were shooting at aircraft?
World stunned as US struggles with Katrina

LONDON (Reuters) - The world has watched amazed as the planet's only superpower struggles with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, with some saying the chaos has exposed flaws and deep divisions in American society.
World leaders and ordinary citizens have expressed sympathy with the people of the southern United States whose lives were devastated by the hurricane and the flooding that followed.
But many have also been shocked by the images of disorder beamed around the world -- looters roaming the debris-strewn streets and thousands of people gathered in New Orleans waiting for the authorities to provide food, water and other aid.

I'm really upset about the group Shep has been talking about for days. Why those people are being ignored is beyond me.
However .. WHY DOESN'T SHEP GET SOME WATER AND FOOD FOR THEM INSTEAD OF STANDING THERE BAD-MOUTHING THE PRESIDENT.
