I partly blame Shep and Geraldo for all of the hysteria that has caused a distortion (IMHO) about Katrina...
There were lots of people doing good work...before, during and after Katrina that were never acknowledged because all most Americans (non-internet users and news junkies) saw, were Shep and Geraldo standing on that freeway...
SCREAMING about why isn't BUSH doing something for these people...which put all of the blame on Bush and none on Nagin and Blanco....
NOW, even though we know that Nagin and Blanco were idiots...everyone will just remember BUSH being blamed by the idiot media and Landrieu.
Unless you let that happen, which by your above remarks you obviously are.
Texas Republican govt. vs. democrat nagin/blanco/landrieu govt.
Not the evacs... as evidenced after W's speech. They didn't get infected with MSM.
