"At the hour, blacks were drowning in New Orleans. "
Nope. Day later with the levee breaches.
This article was written by a racist.
Another drama queen....
I'm sorry to have to say this, but I'm so tired of wussy people that evidently want President Bush to hold everyone's hand.
RISE TO THE OCCASION, PEOPLE!!!
My understanding is that he declared a state of emergency in the affected areas on the 27th, before the storm hit. Where were that municipal and state governments? The La. Governor should have had the National Guard called out early but did nothing but sit on her hands and emote.
Who writes this drivel ?
Newsday is big with the crystal meth crowd.
OMG, what a giant steaming pile of cr@p...
Where is the Projectile Vomit ALERT?
Just another ignorant fool, Bush's advice in San Diego,
"he managed to mention New Orleans, by saying that people should not return to their homes until rescue crews could do their work."
was quite sound. Anyone who evacuated but went back into the city after Katrina moved north, and I am sure there were some if not many, got caught in the levee break and resulting flooding. It is amazing how ill informed this writer is.
Anyone here subscribe to Newsday? Any reason why you haven't cancelled your subscription yet?
Correction:
This was the week when a major American city demonstrated to the world what a hellhole it really was, and black racists put out their hands and started to choke, rape and murder people who were mainly white.
un-freakin-believable

Newsday will shrink the staff of its New York City edition by more than half in the face of weak circulation as it cuts 45 newsroom jobs at the Long Island-based newspaper overall, it announced yesterday.
Top editors said a scandal over inflated circulation that has been plaguing Newsday made it difficult for them to argue against drastically scaling back the New York edition, especially as large newspaper chains such as Newsday parent Tribune Co. struggle to improve profits.
A city desk staff of 45 will be cut to 20 or fewer, including perhaps 12 reporters, Newsday top editor John Mancini told staff in the newsroom of the Kew Gardens office. The paper will offer voluntary buyouts.
"This is extremely painful," Mancini said as he fought to stop his voice from cracking. "It's dramatic and drastic, make no mistake. The reason to do this is to protect the core franchise, which is Long Island."
The cuts will mean less staff coverage in New York, especially outside Queens, where most of the edition's circulation is based.
"The cold, hard truth is that we can no longer support the investment necessary to cover the city as ambitiously as we do today," Mancini, 45, who had been assistant managing editor for New York before being named to replace Howard Schneider as top editor in November, said in a memo e-mailed to staff.
The announcement came just more than 10 years after Newsday's shutdown of a much bigger New York Newsday edition, which involved 750 job cuts. At that time, Newsday was owned by Los Angeles-based Times Mirror, which was sold to Chicago-based Tribune in 2000 for $8 billion.
I had to remind myself that I was once a young moron, too.
And no busses, thanks to Hizzoner Nagin...
Rich target area.
I am sooooooooo sick of this BS.
Let the RATS keep it up. Eventually it will come back to bite them squarely on the posterior.
Even Ted Kennedy and Shrillery Clinton are smart enough to stay away from the Kool-aid on this one!
