We've seen exaggerations before. In the aftermath of 9/11, weeks later, people were still guessing that 25,000 were dead. It was only 11% of that number.

I wonder if the final death toll will be inflated with "estimates" of how many may never be found. I'll bet anything they won't be able to show a pathology report and a death certificate for everyone said to be killed. It will be the Census issue all over again, where estimates are deemed to be more accurate than an actual count.

True, at the beginning. But as this refugees start filing for federal aid and the list is compared to residents of the parishes flooded, they will be refuted.

Of course some, like Je$$e and Sharpton will claim otherwise.
