Once again the universal law is proven that celebrity is inversely proportioanl to both intelligence and morality.

I can't believe the racism spewed on that site...the ignorance to the facts is overwhelming...only one that I read questioned why they were not critical of the governor and the mayor as well (stating they had much power to react early in the crisis)...person was flam med into oblivion with no response on their end as a valid defence....Racism 101....

I saw the name before and thought with the name Kayne that he was a she. If it was a publicity stunt, now I know who he is and he is a laughable moron. Mission accomplished, I guess :-)

I wasn't surprised at all.

It seems to me that conservative whites care more about the underprivileged blacks than do liberal blacks or liberal whites. The evidence throughout history is overwhelming. The Katrina episode, comparing the NO mayor and LA governor to the President are obvious proof.

Maybe someone could mention the fact the majority of these people could do without food for a week, they hardly look like they have been starving, unlike the poor folks of Ethiopia, they have to walk miles from village to village for anything to eat, I did notice that there were no shortage of cigarettes, when these people were on TV, maybe they don't seam to mention the earth is still under there feet, to start again.

I can't believe the President had to PLEAD with her to help her own people. He could see what was coming - she could only see that people would start being rude to each other.

I can believe it. Conservative Texans have a "can-do" attitude. Liberal dims have the "do it for me" attitude.

You know, she makes me ashamed to be a woman. She has reacted just the way you would expect a "girl" to do - cry - rather than ACT. Disgusting.

It's supposed to be all about her.

I can't think of a better way for celebrities to guarantee nobody wants to give any money to New Orleans residents than by turning this into a race war.

I wouldn't give a nickel to help the people of New Orleans who are blaming George W. Bush and all white people for their desperate plight.

Let me make sure I understand this.

The democratic governor did nothing to evacuate or relieve the city.

The democratic mayor did nothing to evacuate (until about 12 hours before the storm hit) or to relieve the city.

And it's President Bush who doesn't care?

Does anyone else smell something funny here?

Your comments about N.W.A. are truly compelling. I guess if you ignore the FACT that the vast majority of crimes in this country are committed by blacks, its easy to claim the police are racist.

"Yes George Bush is mainly the first person doing something right now...but isn't he supposed to be? He's the President of the country."

I think you should spend a little more time here at Free Republic to get the big picture and a better understanding about the responsibilities of the local and state government.
