HAHAHAHAH oh that's rich. I'm surprised they aired it, must have been a live broadcast. Bet they won't recycle any of that content as they would if they had bashed Bush.

[cgk]

WPtG: this is the interview I was telling you about... GREAT

[EagleUSA]

Reynolds: "Do you blame anybody for this?"

London: "Yes. I mean, they've been allocated federal funds to fix the levee system, and it never got done. I fault the mayor of our city personally. I really do."

Very encouraging to see that the citizens get it!!!

That's the problem with live television journalism. You never know what might happen... the truth might even come out.

That's why I wouldn't expect to see Hillary doing many live interviews between now and 2008, unless perhaps it's with her best pals Katie Couric and Barbara Walters.

"No, none whatsoever," she said, "because I feel like our city and our state government should have been there before the federal government was called in."

Beautiful. If I had the money, I would buy Connie London a new house.

Gotta love it - obviously the ordinary citizen from New Orleans is a lot smarter than their elected representatives and a WHOLE LOT SMARTER than the press!

Howie Carr of Boston sez that the reporter who interviewed the people making reasonable statements about the President screwed up big time as regards the Liberal media. He was supposed to find people who bashed President Bush. Howie Carr warned that that guy will not work in the mainstream media ever again.

[RegulatorCountry]

Uh oh, Texas-think has already contaminated those poor refugees. I smell Karl Rove, LOL.

[Minnesocold]

[keats5]

Wow.

[mtbopfuyn]

Ping me when CNN airs it.

[MizSterious]

Now, if only the rest of the U.S. could see the light, too.

I hope this bodes ill for Blank-o and Nagin in the next election.

Reynolds: "What is the one mistake that could have been prevented that would have made your lives much better? Is it simply getting all of you out much sooner or what was it?"

Mary: "I'm going to tell you the truth. I had the opportunity to get out, but I didn't believe it. So I stayed there till it was too late."


Thankfully someone taking ownership of personal responsibilty. I think this is the case of MANY of the good folks down there.

[jonsie]

Well that is how it is suppose to work!

[Irish Rose]

My first thought after seeing that title: ANY praise for President Bush surprises ABC.

[infidel29]

Hey, ABC...

[Patriot from Philly]

I have very limited experience with the media but I can tell you they set things up:

I was at Union Station on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving several years ago and encountered a news team. Now Amtrack runs many trains on that day and the train station did not have any of those crowds before Thanksgiving crowds they like so much.

They stuck this microphone in my face and started to ask me about all the problems with security and were they being security-conscious. They just wanted a controversial sound bite. I must have been pretty boring because I don't think I was on tv.

Those crowds in Iraq that are so excited when the cameras are on, what do you think they do when the cameras are off.

After this ABC incident, they just won't do live interviews again, too hard to control.

[AFreeBird]

Gee, I waded into the cesspool waters over at DU, and it was the funniest thing: No mention what-so-ever of this speech , or the reaction to it that ABC got.

Uhh... who'd have thunk it?

[boomop1]

I despise the media.

[jiggyboy]

Heh heh...I'm picturing the interviewer's face getting redder and redder from the bottom up, then he just starts vibrating in place like Yosemite Sam, he's so frustrated.
