Barbour's looking good....
CNN is scum. I wonder if Katie has criticized the federal government's response yet?
Barbour '08!
Soledad was attempting to take cheap shots at Homeland Security Cheif and yes, Miles was trying to gig Barbour as well. Set politics aside and lets just continue to help these victims.
Miles nor Soledad would never grill Blanco or Landrieu as they did their last guest. Blanco does need to be brought to task.
I saw that little sack of sewage water, Miles O'Brien try to give Gov Haley the business. The gov was kinder than I would have been to the little schmuck. I can't believe how the news anchors remarks are so blatantly trying to stir up trouble. Disgusting.
BTTT.
Heard it on my XM radio... Barbour was getting pissed!
In spite of the issues JimRob must be having with bandwidth right now- I am REALLY glad you started this thread.
The exchange between the governor and the reporter took my breath away. O'Brien exhibited every quality I detest about the media.
Apparently there are NO grownups left at CNN.

I missed this completely. Can anyone please ad lib a transcript of the highlights? Thanks.
I missed it, but I saw Aaron Brown last night on CNN blaming President Bush for everything.
I was watching CNN last night at 11:00 pm. Friggin fox was showing repeats of O'Reilly.
Aaron Brown was trying to do the same thing to the FEMA director. The FEMA director took Brown to task by replying that there are still dead people in the water and people on roofs needing rescue. FEMA guy says book him a few months down the road to be on his show to take blame, now he had more important things to do.
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.
Barbour has been wonderful.
My temper is frayed at the moment. I am sick of elites with political agendas, whther they be conservative or Liberal, either worrying about photo ops or in the Liberals case...trying to affix Blame to Bush for the weather!
They are sick, all of them. The ONLY thing that should dominate is saving lives and recovery. That isn't their primary thought, and they should be shamed.
I did....then I realized it was a CNN reporter, meaning he's an operative for the DemocRAT party.
Barbour spanked him though.
Do you a link to the interview? The url you gave is to CNN's homepage.
It wasn't the agenda so much as the ridiculous know-it-all attitude of O'Brien that made me mad. Who is he to question the governor of Mississippi about disaster preparedness and response? Who is he to simply make a declaration that the U.S. military is the only force capable of responding to this disaster and therefore something is wrong because it isn't there yet? Hell, all I know is what I read here and in the papers and I know more than this assclown apparently does.
Have a link? The one you provided is useless.
Can someone clarify these questions: (1) Is it the responsibility of the states or the federal government to call in the National Guard when there's an emergency?; (2) How long does it take to mobilize and deploy a National Guard unit?; (3) How long did it take the USA to get personnel into the tsunami recovery effort? I ask #3 because the CNN folks were claiming the USA was faster to help the tsunami victims than to help the victims of Katrina. But I recall that the USA was blamed for being slow to respond to the tsunami, that it took about 5-7 days before we had anyone there. Correct me if I'm wrong. The "quick to help tsunami victims/slow to help Katrina victims" mantra was repeated as gospel all last night.
One more question: Is it even legal for the regular U.S. military to assume operations within the USA, even for disaster relief?
How would we have seen that? Who watches CNN anyway?
