"no one is coming for them with buses"

Baloney. There have been buses coming to that spot all day long. There are more on the way. This is a disaster area. Life sucks in a disaster area. There is no denying that and no way to avoid it. But the folks he was showing were sitting on a blanket, drinking water and smoking cigerettes. They may have to wait a few more hours for the bus, but it is coming.

If you can afford cigarettes, then you can afford just about anything.

OReilly on the phone now with someone from a hotel. the hotel privately rented 10 buses to evacuate a bunch of tourists in the hotels in the Quarter. they were commandeered and sent to the superdome, so all these people are stuck - with very little security.

So these folks made sure they rescued their cigarettes? Guess that is more important than taking food with you?
