With power out from the high winds and movement limited, even news reporters in New Orleans remained unaware of the full extent of the levee breaches until Tuesday.
So, basically, people who LIVE news and GET PAID for news and were RIGHT THERE couldn't get to the levees to report, but the Bush Administration is supposed to have god-like powers and be on top of the situation two minutes ago.
I just get this picture of Bush and Cheney floating around on a cloud above New Orleans, directing things with mind ray beams and telekinesis, like some kind of X-Men to the millionth power.
At least, that's what they were SUPPOSED to be doing - BUT NO!
Bush was on his ranch, reading a children's book to a kindergarten class, and Dick Cheney was skulking about in the tunnels under Washington, D.C.
;-)
You forgot about Karl Rove and his Levee Failure Machine!
But....but....Shepard Smith, the all-knowing, all-seeing, all-hot air reporter said New Orleans had "dodged the bullet." In fact, he said it so many times it sounded like a mantra or something. And of course, at least according to him, he knows so much more than President Bush!
