What? O'Brian said it was a 5 in Florida?

Are you serious?

BARBOUR: I really don't. And I think it's very unfair for the federal government, for you to say we knew this was a great powerful storm. This was a category 1 hurricane when it hit Florida. Now that's the truth.

M. O'BRIEN: Governor, it was a category 5 storm.

BARBOUR: The federal government...

M. O'BRIEN: A category 5 storm when it was...

BARBOUR: No, it was a category 1 -- it was a category 1 storm when it hit Florida. It was a category 5 storm a few hours before it came ashore.

M. O'BRIEN: No, no, Governor Barbour...

Someone must have been whispering in his ear "Hey, Dipsh!t, the Gov is right, it was a Category 1 in Florida."

Miles is stupid, stupid, stupid. Stupid led by arrogance. He had an agenda which was not drawing out factual information. Barbour cut his nads off.

Did he correct hiomself in a later segment, acknowledging his mistake?

[ CNN coverage stinks. It is a blame game for them. I keep hreading from FR posters how great their coverage is. What I saw was disgraceful. ]

Caution: the only freepers that even watch CNN are RINOs..

There is NO way that I am going to defend Blanco, but Mrs. Thacher never had to face a disaster of this magnitude.

The 1984 Miners Strike in Britian was considered a "titanic clash" by both sides. Admittedly, not the exact same sort of disaster.

The combined IQ of everyone on CNN doesn't equal room temperature.

Yes.....Barbour got into an argument with the CNN reporter as the topic of this thread suggest. It's O'Brian's second interview...scroll down.
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0509/01/ltm.03.html

From my own obersvations.
CNN reports the Pentagon began preparations for aid and troop movement 48 hours before the hurricane hit.

125,000 of the military have been activated, ultimately 50,000 in the Gulf Coast area.

How can they do that if they all went to Iraq according to Sheehan?

Several critics of Bush say more troops are needed in Iraq. What if he had listened to them, who would
be there in the Gulf in their place?

There could be more military to help. How does the effectiveness of the Left, anti-war, and other liberal's efforts to thwart recruiting fit in?

The Left should have to answer these questions!

No, it's a matter of tracking the bias and refuting their BS.

It is very hard to watch CNN. I really hate to do it, but they just had the best and most extensive photos.

But whenever they started talking about global warming and the Federal Govt being to blame i went back to Fox.

CNN is full of Shiite.

Anyone who's ever visited NO's French Quarter and the French Market has to have noticed that the Mississippi is higher than the sidewalks. And most residents would shrug, and often remark that it was just a matter of time before disaster struck. Such fatalism was part of the charm of the place.

And it wasn't the river that got them, but the lake.

Do you know what it means, to miss New Orleans? I've been there many times. What a shame...

When Barbour has head of RNC, I developed a lot of respect for the Republican "limited government, balanced budget" approach.

We still need him in leadership. The south needs him now.

Even though I haven't been to New Orleans, I think I understand, a little, what you are saying.

My home town has changed so much that it is nearly unrecognizable. I hurts to go back.

That's a line from an old song by Louis Armstrong (at least, he sang it)--

heard that Cafferty guy the other day talking about Bush's vacation

I caught that too. Cafferty has become my most detested CNN hack. He sits there in his permanently rolled-up shirtsleeves, acting out his role as the crusty, plain-talking, "gruff but loveable," old news veteran. His contribution consists of eliciting Bush-bashing e-mails and taking stupid viewer push-polls. It really starts to wear thin after hearing one too many of these snide comments, which expose him as just another whining Dem Bush-hater.
