"I KNEW I liked Geraldo!"
I wasn't so impressed by him or Shep. This is an email I sent to them after the emotional report about the people stuck on the Interstate without any "directions.
Geraldo & Shep,
I saw your emotional reports about the people suffering their way through Katrina. You guys aren't fools. This isn't your first disaster.
Why didn't you tell the young men who had shoes on their feet to go out and find food and water for the elderly, the women and children? So what if they have to walk 10 or 20 miles to keep the babies and moms fed? Fifty young men could have gone to the food stores and instead of looting for Nikes sneakers, watches or electronics, loot for subsistence materials to keep their own families alive. Carry the materials back to the needy in shopping carts or in back packs, whatever is necessary.
Tell the people that hot water heaters have 30 or 40 gallons of drinkable water in them. Wipe the bathtub with Clorox and fill it with water before a city loses it's water pressure, don't bitch about not having anything to drink if you can't think 12 hours ahead!
I think either of you could have made a serious contribution to the recovery effort if you had used your heads and given these people directions on how to stay alive. I do hope to see a better performance from you both during the next hurricane.
Sincerely,
That is way too much thinking for that crowd there...

Or maybe, instead of standing outside like idiots blowing in the wind for 48 hours waiting anxiously for the eye to hit New Orleans, they could have taken their cameras and crew, drove through the neighborhoods with a bull horn and warned people to get out.
