You can hear the undertones of this event somehow being portrayed as some kind of perverse revenge against rich white people who can afford to take luxury cruises.

I've never heard anything good about Carnival. Everyone I know who's been on their ships had nothing but complaints.

Immediately after Katrina, I remember when FEMA reserved/commandeered a cruise ship to be used as emergency housing for displaced New Orleanians and they refused to live on it, claiming that it was beneath their dignity or civil rights or something.

The CNN reporterettes would not have that factoid in their memory bank because after all: everything is George Bush’s fault.
