All of the OLD MEDIA are out for blood today! I'm so *issed I could *itch slap everyone of them myself. I have never seen such obvious bias on display.

They are so damned determined to blame Pres. Bush for EVERYTHING they are seething.

They are all about to have a meltdown!

[FreedomNeocon]

ROTFL... just saw Matthews opening intro:

"Whats worse... the action of god, or (switch to footage of Bush walking with HS Chief) the INACTION of man? And are these the guys we are supposed to depend on when terrorists strike?

(switch to superdome footage) and... I this the big one? The racial divide in America... black... poor... and expendable?

Blah blah blah...

[Miss Marple]

I understand that most people in the UK don't understand the federal/state relationship.

Unfortunately, a lot of Americans don't understand it, either.

We need to get busy explaining this , because the media won't do.

The President is on now expressing his condolences to the Renquist family.

[YaYa123]

I'm delighted the President's remarks about Rehnquist begin at 10 am, coinciding with the start of Meet The Press.

I'm also interested in the explanation which will be given for why the Governor of Louisiana and the Mayor of New Orleans are NOT on Meet The Press this morning.

[Peach]

The president - live - re Rehnquist

[kcvl]

I have never been so angry at the crap on MTP this morning.

That was a complete circus. I have never seen anything so unprofessional on a so-called news show.

[jslade]

When the framework that told them what to do and when and provided the means to do it was no longer there they just crumbled it took many of them days to realise that they had to actually help themselves something they had never done before.

You just SO nailed it. Now what is being done to combat this attitude in GB.

[MNJohnnie]

I'm also interested in the explanation which will be given for why the Governor of Louisiana and the Mayor of New Orleans are NOT on Meet The Press this morning

Would also like Timmy to explain why the Wash Po is reporting that the Feds have asked the locals to get out of the way and they are STILL saying no. Read msg 13 of this thread for more info.

[Coldwater Creek]

They would have only had to to have taken them less than 50 miles outside NO until the storm was over. I am sure that there was someplace they could have gone. It would have been better to have spent the money to evacuate these poor people even if the hurricane has turned further east and missed most of NO.

[freeperfromnj]

the racial divide in America... black... poor... and expendable?

Yeah - like the MSM elitists knew they even existed. Did they ever shine a spotlight on the plight of the poor in New Orleans?

[tiredoflaundry]

W just told us it's best for the nation that the vacancies are filled promptly!

[EnquiringMind]

I wasn't criticizing the way he talks in any way whatsoever. He was mispronouncing CAVALRY......over and over and over. Bet you don't.

[Truth29]

This Administration and the rest of the Republicans had better learn how to fight. The Administration may exhibit class, but the dems are playing an entirely different game and some of the mud thrown on the wall will stick. Much of this is not about the disaster, but rather about the '06 election. It may be in horrible taste to think about politics, but if we don't the dems will win in the next Congressional elections and prepare the way for Senator Clinton to be the next President. We simply cannot allow all of this "blame" to go against Bush. The MSM is working tirelessly to blame Bush for everything, even though their is more than ample evidence against Blanco, Nagin and Louisiana corruption, in general. And finally, there is little emphasis that many of the remaining 40,000 to 50, 000 NO residents don't want to leave - even now.

Thanks NautiNurse and thank you again for your fantastic hurricane coverage. No t.v. for me today, stuck at work with the good computer while UPS tries to find out if they can lift the new one on the conveyor belt or not..

[kcvl]

The are pushing this crap a little too hard. It's obvious they have decided they are going to take sides before the truth gets out to the general public. I have had it with their lies and biases!

How many times does the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES have to tell GROWN MEN & WOMEN to get the HELL OUT OF THE WAY of a CAT 5 HURRICANE?!!!

[snugs]

There are many ways to take what Chertoff was meaning in no one expected it to be that bad.

He could have been making oblique reference to the local authorities handling of it or the fact that many people did not think that the levies would break and therefore the extensive flooding which in NO is the main problem.

[Montaignes Cat]

I just saw the end of a long "Bush is a racist," "the real war is the war on poverty which has been lost" tirade delivered on CBS by an African-American woman. CBS gave her many minutes, including sarcastic footage of Pres Bush waving, and his helicopter in the air. Does anyone know who she is?

[Carolinamom]

Well, W. just answered Dodd's plea to delay nominations. LOL

[MNJohnnie]

They are all about to have a meltdown!


Of course cause the cover is about to come off their corrupt little 1 Party city feifdoms. The questions WILL be asked. Maybe not until next year but when election time comes around if the Dems want THIS to be an issue, I am more they happy to fight them on it. Just what did our millions of $$$ in Home Land Security money give NO and Lousiana buy us?

[rodguy911]

Crack pipe on the bottom of the plastic container, what me worry, naw I got beer.
