What 'slow response'?
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?
