Shep was the biggest drama queen of them all. Geraldo came in second.
And a couple of our own FR members ran an extremely close 3rd and 4th. Pure hysteria and hype.
Geraldo's reporting one Saturday night, I think it was, from NO was the last time I ever watched him. He got that silly Police Superintendant (I think that is what they call them there) to get on TV to talk about how all hell was going to break loose overnight; that people were going to start rioting. Had that leader acting unprofessional, only adding to the bad situation.
Of course, the next day started one of the biggest airlifts I could imagine. No one bothers to report the logistics that have to go into pulling that off.
Oh, I heard a report the other day that there is an "outcry" over the lack of competitive bids for rebuilding after Katrina. For goodness sakes people, make up your minds. Do you want it done fast, or procedural? Unfortunately, it can't be both ways.
