Did anyone just see the exchange between Anderson Cooper and Eddie Compass? He tried to pin the chief down on the evacuation issue and the chief about blew a circuit breaker.
Plus you don't start evacuating from a Cat5 Hurricane on Sunday when the wind is already beginning to blow. The people who needed the buses were old, disabled, weak, and without transport. That should have been started 72 hours before and the drivers would most likely have been there. That is also the time nsg homes, rest homes and critical, ventilator patient are evacuated. Most people with cars go 24-48 hours beforehand. Also the RC and SA would have helped them with shelters for the poor. And TX would have too.
I've loved Tancredo for several years now.
That's right. Someone from LA in the know emailed Rush -- it was a friend of Rush's so he trusted the info and the friend wanted it to get out.
There have been numerous inuendos in the media about the "un-named gay Fox news anchor". He's gay, believe me.
"If the Nation of Islam ties were too controversial for Michael Jackson, it should be too controversial for the NOPD. New Orleans is a very diverse community with strong ties to the Jewish and Catholic faiths. Hiring an individual who is affiliated with such a hate filled group that has a history of anti-White, anti-Catholic and anti-Semitic rhetoric is an insult to all such individuals on the police force and in New Orleans. Obviously, Chief Compass needs sensitivity training to realize the implications of his decision."
It may have already been said, but Compass did feel some heat and changed his mind about hiring him.
So this is the result of the Nation of Islam training??? Sounds like they should have hired Bernie Kerick.
Alot of people say this. Did Shep say he's gay?
How do you know that this is true?
I've heard he's divorced, of course that doesn't mean that he can't be gay, but I'd like to know why people are so sure he's gay.
I don't care who you are, now, that's funny!!! Git'r'done!
"What happened on October 13, 1994, should not have happened in the United States of America," Assistant U.S. Attorney Mike McMahon
Who was Kim Marie Groves, and why was the U.S. Attorney's office so intent on convicting those accused of taking part in her murder? At the time she was shot to death in New Orleans's Lower Ninth Ward, she was a single mother of three children who worked as a part-time security guard at the Louisiana Superdome. When her death was reported in the Times-Picayune, New Orleans's daily newspaper, the story took up just three short paragraphs on the obit page. Murders, especially those that took place in the city's predominantly black housing projects and low-income neighborhoods, had become so commonplace in New Orleans at that time they rarely made news unless the victim was well known or was a tourist visiting the city. In police jargon, "black-on-black" murders were callously termed "garden variety."
However, two months later, when the full story of Groves' murder became public, it made front page headlines. Shock waves rumbled throughout the city and reverberated around the world, making headlines abroad. The man accused of orchestrating her killing was a decorated New Orleans police officer.
A decorated but thoroughly corrupt police officer in an American city had ordered a "hit" on an ordinary citizen; one who had reported him for police brutality only a day or two before she met her tragic end. The man hired to do the killing was a notorious drug kingpin with a long rap sheet that included other murder accusations. The third man standing accused of the murder took charge of dispensing with the murder weapon. Two other accomplices avoided murder charges in exchange for their testimony.
What emerged during the trial was the disclosure of the existence of an intricate network of police and drug dealers, working together to thwart the law and threatening to "take out" anyone who got in their way. Cops hanging out in sleazy bars with hardened criminals, conspiring to protect them from the laws they were sworn to uphold when they first donned their badges. Cops and criminals, buddy-buddy in illegal operations, moving crack cocaine onto the streets of New Orleans and into the city's low-income housing projects. Cops and criminals, killing without remorse and rejoicing over the deaths of their victims. Their story and the far-reaching ramifications of it follow.

What Ursus arctos horribilis said is exactly what the email to Rush said and the person lived in the area and is a business man who was very upset that the truth was being hidden.
Again, I've seen numerous comments in columns referring to an
"un-named Fox news anchor or personality" which strongly intimate he's a homosexual. It's always mentioned in such a way where it's one of those things everyone in the industry knows about. I guess it's possible they're talking about Bill O'Reilly.
Thanks. I remember it clearly now.
I deserve to be punished for laughing at that so . . . .
The suicide story is hinted at within this Cincinnati Post article: http://news.cincypost.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050908/NEWS01/509080377
This is not true--I was at Paul Accardo's service this week and his wife was there--they had no children. I didn't want to ask about details, but I heard that maybe he found his parents dead. I do not know if it is true.
Not good enough. No sources, no names, all gossip.
Chris Wallace acts more gay than Shep, but Shep's hysterical rantings and childishness made me suspect his orientation right away.
They're still on a different page. He turned it to make it sound like they asked for the buses AFTER the storm when they were surrounded by water. Anderson didn' press him on why they didn't use them before the storm to evacuate.
If you want to see pics, I'm afraid you're gonna have to ask Shep.
