No matter what you think of Geraldo, he is on the scene and doing a good job of reporting. The mayors wife put a good face on it, especially since the family wasn't hurt, but I'm sure it will hit her later.

Again, its the local responders who are on scene and asking for assistance with things like IV hydration packs for police and rescue officers and chain saws. But again, they are not complaining and are saying it is better today than yesterday. No Mayer Nagins in this bunch.

I am not as "down" on Geraldo as some...

Sometimes I wish his prose wasn't so "campy", but he works hard at his job, and he has put himself on the "front lines".

I know what you mean about poor Mrs. Ortiz...right now, her husband has so much to do for the city, that he and she don't have time to grieve for what they have lost...but they will.

The guy that was on Fox this morning was whining too much, IMHO...complaining about the feds not getting him generators...which, IMHO, HE should have been responsible for stocking up on BEFORE Rita hit.

But, basically, I agree with you----the officials at all levels have admitted when things went wrong, but haven't complained.
