Lisa Ling (formerly of "The View") was on Oprah's show today. One of the FIRST things out of her mouth was (paraphrasing here, but only a little) "I wonder, if this had happened to a community of afflurent white people, would it have taken *so* long for help to arrive for them?"
All disgust aside, it isn't too hard to tell that Lisa is Limosine Lib from Manhattan, is it?
THE BLACK mayor had no problem ignorning the black people. He had no problem there. It sems to me that anyone with good sense would have had some waste cans ready for these people, and someone to clean the toilets and the floors.
Ane when he learned that the electricity stopped, did he not know that these people still would have to go to the toilets and need food and water? Just what did he not understand? There was feces everywhere and urine soaked floors, and no way to even wash ones hands. Did no one have any brains after the hurrican hit? WHY did the people in the SUPERDOME have to wait for 700 people from the Hyatt Hotel board first? I suppose that was some more of the black mayors ideas too.
I am not so sure that we have had one accused of plotting against his own yet, but this might be the first case of this. With his master's degree this black mayor could not stoop to help the poor black people so much in grave need.
I was listening to Bill Bennett's morning radio show today and he had a replay of Oprah's interview with NO Mayor. It was nauseating. I had to force myself to listen till the end, that's bad. I never watch Oprah's show and was of a better opinion about her.
