"You talk about a major big media backfire, folks, this is it," said radio talk host Rush Limbaugh during his show Friday.

Dean Reynolds, in the parking lot of Houston's Astrodome, speaking with black evacuees from New Orleans...

The full transcription of Reynolds' interviews follows:

[bracketed "subtext" commentary by AmericanArchConservative - in behalf of reporter Dean Reynolds...]

"I'd like to get the reaction of Connie London who spent several horrible hours at the Superdome. You heard the president say repeatedly that you are not alone, that the country stands beside you. Do you believe him?"

Connie London: "Yeah, I believe him, because here in Texas, they have truly been good to us. I mean-"

Reynolds: "Did you get a sense of hope that you could return to your home one day in New Orleans?"

London: "Yes, I did. I did."

Reynolds: "Did you harbor any anger toward the President because of the slow federal response?"

[Okay Connie, work with me here - the answer is YES - followed with a basic explanation...]

London: "No, none whatsoever, because I feel like our city and our state government should have been there before the federal government was called in. They should have been on their jobs."

[Aiieee! No! Connie, no dammit! Wrong answer...you're putting me in a hole here...waitasecond, Dean - breathe, got...to...breathe. Must...regain control...ask another question...]

Reynolds: "And they weren't?"

[Come on now Connie - I am really looking for a Bush-bashing sound bite here...help me out, wouldja? Somebody get Mary Landrieu over here, NOW!]

London: "No, no, no, no. Lord, they wasn't. I mean, they had RTA buses, Greyhound buses, school buses, that was just sitting there going under water when they could have been evacuating people."

[D'oh!!! No! No! No! Truth does not WORK here! Gimme anger...gimme "festering resentment"...gimme "chiding, condescending disappointment" at least! Anything but facts...Control booth - get me outta here...!]

Reynolds: "Now, Mary, you were rescued from your house which was basically submerged in your neighborhood. Did you hear something in the President's words that you could glean some hope from?"

[I mean, he really didn't say much, did he? You would have to, like - hunt to find it, right? You couldn't have - those Conservative Republicans are really heartless b*stards, right?! Kanye West already said...]

Mary: "Yes. He said we're coming back, and I believe we're coming back. He's going to build the city up. I believe that."

[No no no no-ohhh gaggggg! You CAN'T be serious!?]

Reynolds: "You believe you'll be able to return to your home?"

[Frigging idiot *X%#!$!! Anchor desk, help me out here - I think we have a "ringer"...]

Mary: "Yes, I do."

[Oiyyyyy veyy - this one's brain dead... ]

Reynolds: "Why?"

[Do the words 'flood-ravaged' mean anything to you, you brain-damaged, right-wing myth swallowing dolt...!]

Mary: "Because I really believe what he said. I believe. I got faith."

[Oh come off it! We all know Bush lies all the time, and hates poor people, and racial minorities...it's holy writ, for crying out loud! You're a ringer, you're a "plant", aren't you - a shill hired by Karl Rove...]

Reynolds: "Back here in the corner, we've got Brenda Marshall, right?"

Brenda Marshall: "Yes."

Reynolds: "Now, Brenda, you were, spent, what, several days at the Superdome, correct?"

Marshall: "Yes, I did."

Reynolds: "What did you think of what the President told you tonight?"

[Negatives, people - feed me some quick, harsh cutdowns...]

Marshall: "Well, I think -- I think the speech was wonderful, you know, him specifying that we will return back and that we will have like mobile homes, you know, rent or whatever. I was listening to that pretty good. But I think it was a well fine speech."

[ *Sigh*...Somebody please get me out of here...it's feeling like a long, long night already. I think your IQ's were submerged along with you homes...Mobile homes would be a "step up" for you pathetic yokels...]

Reynolds: "Was there any particular part of it that stood out in your mind? I mean, I saw you all nod when he said the Crescent City is going to come back one day."

[ Pleaaaase tell me you were all thinking,"Oh yeahhh, riiight!"]

Marshall: "Well, I think I was more excited about what he said. That's probably why I nodded."

[Huh?! Excited?! By that cowboy boot-wearing hick? Come on - Bush is like - really poorly done, half-cooked oatmeal... ]

Reynolds: "Was there anything that you found hard to believe that he said, that you thought, well, that's nice rhetoric, but, you know, the proof is in the pudding?"

Marshall: "No, I didn't."

[Direct answer - Damn! There's just no way I can twist that around...better to just act as if that was the answer I expected... ]

Reynolds: "Good. Well, very little skepticism here. Frederick Gould, did you hear something that you could hang on to tonight from the President?"

[Aaannnd moving right along...let's bait another 'hook'!]

Frederick Gould: "Well, I just know, you know, he said good things to me, you know, what he said, you know. I was just trying to listen to everything they were saying, you know."

[Not another one...NEXT!]

Reynolds: "And Cecilia, did you feel that the President was sincere tonight?"

Cecilia: "Yes, he was."

[Ouch! Sayyy what? But he's a liar, liar, pants on...Are you people all RELATED or something? Maybe I just have to FEED you the answer AS I phrase the question...Let's get 'nuanced' here!]

Reynolds: "Do you think this is a little too late, or do you think he's got a handle on the situation?"

Cecilia: "To me it was a little too late. It was too late, but he should have did something more about it."

[At last! The holy grail! An angry citizen! Time to press the advantage!]

Reynolds: "Now do you all believe that you will one day return to your homes?"

[Of course you don't - too many memories, too much sense of betrayal by the Bush Administration turning their backs to you! You've all been irreparably harmed by their callous indifference...you're victims...]

Voices: "Yes" and "I do."

[ Waitaminute... you all obviously failed to understand the question...Now, let me rephrase this...]

Reynolds: "I mean, do you all want to return to your homes? We're hearing some people don't even want to go back."

Mary: "I want to go back."

[There we are America..she doesn't want to - What!? Anchor desk, hello? She didn't get the memo...]

Reynolds: "You want to go back."

[I don't believe this sh*t! You wanna do what?]

Mary: "I want to go back. That's my home. That's all I know."

Reynolds: "Is it your home for your whole life?"

[Forget George W, we have a new 'village idiot' candidate right here!]

Mary: "Right. That's my home."

Reynolds: "And do you expect to go back to the house or a brand new dwelling or what?

[ *Sigh*...guess I might as well just roll with this one...it can't get any worse...hopefully.]

Mary: "I expect to go back to something. I know it ain't my house, because it's gone."

[Well there's a bit of 'rocket science' on display...]

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."

Reynolds: "Did you all have the same feeling? I mean, did you all have the opportunity to get out, but you were skeptical that this was the really bad one?"

[The Bush administration failed to convey the real danger of your situation to you all, didn't they? It wasn't all your fault...]

Unnamed woman: "No, I got out when they said evacuate. I got out that Sunday and I left before the storm came. But I know they could have did better than what they did because like they said, buses were just sitting there, and they could have came through there and got people out, because they were saying immediate evacuation. Some people didn't believe it. But they should have brung the force of the army through to help these people and make them understand it really was coming."

London: "And really it wasn't Hurricane Katrina that really tore up the city. It was when they opened the floodgates. It was not the hurricane itself. It was the floodgates, when they opened the floodgates, that's where all the water came."

Reynolds: "Do you blame anybody for this?"

[George W Bush...George W Bush...George W...Oh just SAY it for cryin' out crap! Even 'Karl Rove' counts as a right answer!]

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."

[But Bush forced Nagin to handle it like that, right? It was Bush and Cheney and Halliburton's doing - right? Nagin meant well...Hey, Where the Hell is Senator Landrieu? She NEEDS to punch this imbecile...I am SO outta here...]

Reynolds: "All right. Well, thank you all very much. I wish you all the best of luck. I hope you don't have to spend too much more time here in the Reliant Center and you can get back to New Orleans as the President said. Ted, that is the word from the Houston Astrodome. And as I said, when the President said that the Crescent City will rise again, there were nods all around this parking lot."

[Once more, the 'fumblemouth Cowboy' eludes rightful blame for his evil deeds. Dammit.]

While this may be an example of MSM bias, remember, if this had been a dem in the White House and Reynolds didn't ask if the President was accountable, then Rush would have been out front saying it's another example of MSM bias. Either way in situations like this, the MSM loses. Doesn't mean that they sometimes don't deserve it, but this one is a catch 22.

However, that being said, it was amazing ( and gratifying) that no one interviewed blamed the Prez.

[I still care]

Rush has some of the audio on the freeside of his website.

Some sleeves-rolled-up, hard-hitting "SlimeStreamMedia" parody from your friendly neighborhood AmericanArchConservative - making a mockery of the mockers

Share the laughter - PING! your friends! Let me know if you liked it!

AmericanArchConservative - Because sometimes Goldwater and Reagan were too namby-pamby!

Excellent.

Back in the early 80's, his father (Frank Reynolds) was the only one I would watch on the ABC channels, I remember how upset he was when President Reagan was shot.

[Jim_Curtis]

There was no "back fire". The Democrats got more than they could have even hoped for from a Democrat President. Bush set us up for reparations the other night during his speech. No Democrat President would have dared say what Bush was willing to propose.
