CNN's Soledad O'Brien given the verbal smackdown by NOLA resident
American Morning co-host Soledad O'Brien has had this holier-than-thou on-air attitude throughout the entire crisis following Hurricane Katrina. The past few mornings, she has been broadcasting from New Orleans to show the magnitude of the disaster.
Well...this morning, a New Orleans resident whose house is high and dry came on the CNN morning program and...let's just say that Soledad got the smackdown.

"They never offered them transportation out of the city."
And then the CNN liberal hack switched the subject to asking her about showers?
How obvious.
Don't fool with THIS lady. Karen for mayor!
DON'T DRINK THE COFFEE!!!! Unless the water has been boiled first.
The best line out of the whole interview. She wasn't referring to FEMA, either.
Soledad - nothing more than a Katie Couric clone.
I've seen several reporters make the "mistake" of getting hold of a good old-fashioned Southerner. Usually, they let go pretty quickly.
And, by the way, I will continue to ignore what little journalistic talents O'Brien has by concentrating all of my attention on her chest.

Beautiful catch. WHAP on Soledad.
S. O'BRIEN: Do you have a working shower?
Exactly. How astute of Soledad to observe that LaBarre was not going to conform to the official view of CNN that the whole thing is Bush's/FEMA's fault-- and quickly abandon the obvious line of newsworthy questions that Labarre's remark invited.
LABARRE: Don't touch me. . . .what did THAT mean. Someone overly anxious to move LaBarre from camera range or what?
So transparent. Gag.
amazing..... maybe Katie, er I mean Soledad, learned something from the smack-down..... but I doubt it.
fwiw, I knew Soledad O'Brien more than 15 years ago when she was an undergrad.... never thought much of her intellect or that she would amount to much.... imagine my shock when she started showing up on CNN.... but then I guess we can say it doesn't take any kind of intellect to make it with CNN (in fact, intelligence would be a great hindrance) and we can also say she hasn't amounted to much..... :^)
Yep (scroll down just past halfway for the relevant segment).
Do us all a favor, Delia, and make CNN's coffee with floodwater.
Wait, doesn't she mean, "We looted, of course. We had no choice--it was for survival"?
How utterly crass of you....look at her eyes first, then act bashful and look down...that way, she won't know what you are looking at!!!! (I'm old and learned that many years ago, but I don't remember why I just thought of it!!)
FYI
Typical of lib reporters to quickly change the subject when any truly significant comes up.... why would Katie, er Soledad, want to pursue the obvious line of mendacious incompetence by city and state officials when it would only prove embarrassing to the Demagogic Party???
