I fully agree with you.

[hummingbird]

The cartoonists have really come up with some zingers lately, MrsCinAZ!

There are people who are never going to like Pres. Bush one bit, but he is big enough to take it. It is not his mission to be liked; it is his mission to do what he believes is right for the American people and I believe he is doing that with his whole heart, soul, and intellect. Mileage may vary!

Kyoto Protocol can KMA! (blush)

[tcrlaf]

Did I just hear this guy on CNN? The Black Caucus is taking credit for pushing Bush?

[Howlin]

Wolf on CNN saying that race WAS a factor in the response time.

[Howlin]

Yes, the Conscious of the Congress.

And Wolf keeps asking him if race was what caused the delay.

[RDTF]

That guy needs a valium

[leadpenny]

That should surprise no one.

[mwl1]

Did anyone catch what Nagin said to the television cameras with Bush nearby? Very important.

[advance_copy]

Howard Fineman on MSNBC; evidently Newsweek will be coming out with a HUGE hit piece on Bush next week.

Newsweek can't do anything huge. Not enough people actually read their rag.

[mhking]

BUT THEY ARE REFUGEES, YOU MORON! THEY ARE LOOKING FOR REFUGE FROM A DISASTER!

[Diva Betsy Ross]

NO! OMGosh- that is shameful.

[Howlin]

Volunteering to minimize the filth they were exposed to

Policing the area.

[2harddrive]

There are now reports of CANNIBALISM in New Orleans. We have all feared it. Can anyone confirm or disprove it?

[Types_with_Fist]

Somebody must have dropped the ball, or Bush didn't speak, or I missed it. I didn't catch it on Fox.

[agrace]

What gorgeous kids.

[SE Mom]

No WAY- did he really say that?

I thought after his outburst yesterday ..SOMEONE in charge at CNN (is there anyone?)would have told him to stop editorializng ...

[max_rpf]

And Wolf keeps asking him if race was what caused the delay.

How I would reply: Not that I know of Wolf, but I am getting a little concerned as to why you keep asking that question...

[IndyTiger]

Can you give me the gist of the questions and answers? Thanks!

Sorry, but you might want to check on the WH website at www.whitehouse.gov for Laura's Q&A. She spoke for about 20 minutes uninterrupted, stressed several times how important it was for adults at the shelters to enroll their children in local schools, to give them a sense of normalcy.

[Howlin]

He's asked it no less than four times.

He just said, "People are saying that if this had happened in a predominantly white area, the response would have been faster."

[mhking]

There is no confirmation. There is only the rantings of Randall Robinson on Huffington's site; please don't give his paranoid rantings the time of day.
