I'm not convinced that the freeper who posted it was honest.
With roughly 30,000 people in the Astrodome, surely somebody else would know this and seek out any camera to tell the story. As long as the media is in "Get Bush" mode, this kind of news would be BONG FOX News Alert-ed every 15 minutes.
It wasn't this live thread; it was a Red Cross thread.
Here's the post. One of several by that freeper.
