Nightline (ABC) should be good tonight.

[speedoo]

I think Koppel is gonna trash the Coward.

[Faygo Kid]

1. I think you're right. I will stay up for it.

Past my bedtime, but you inspired me to stay up, dammit. It's horrible on all stations; even Tucker Carlson is pissed. Maybe I just need to watch a little Iron Chef before Nightline.

[napi21]

2. I'm going to watch too. Did you notice how many others have been

trashing ShrubCO tonight> Scarborugh(sp), Tucker, and of course Keith. Keith we would expect, but the other two were sure a surprise to me!

[Digit]

3. I was surprised by Anderson Cooper also.

Overall, CNN blew me away.
Then again, when you show scores of people chanting "help" and can tell they have no water or food, how else COULD you spin it?

There is no excuse for the people at the convention center being ignored....none.
There is no excuse for not sending in search and rescue crews earlier.
I could go on and on...but there is NO EXCUSE for any assistance to have been delayed.
....and yet, the suffering goes on.

[fishwax]

35. I was impressed by CNN too

this afternoon Jack Cafferty was pretty much the 1st talking head I heard to really state the obvious: the race and class of those left behind is a major part of this story. And he was plenty pissed about it too.

[me b zola]

37. There is no excusre for any of this!!!

Botttled water & food could have & should have been coming in from the very first day. Buses have been near, but no evacuation.

There is no excuse for people dying in the "shelters"

There is no excuse.

There is no excuse.

WHY?

WHY?

WHY?

[qanda]

4. kick

:kick: Going to watch now.

[speedoo]

6. He's gonna have Brown (FEMA liar) on.

You know Ted will confront the liar.

Shit is about to hit the fan.

[crispini]

5. Wow. One group or the other is seriously out of touch.

FEMA vs. the locals.

[crispini]

7. about 100,000 remaining in NOLA.

most of them poor, no transportation, no money.

[seabeyond]

8. i am watching too the intro looks good n/t

[crispini]

9. This footage is horrible.

[speedoo]

14. Bravo Nightline.

Nobody does a better job of telling the truth IMO.

I can't wait to see Ted blow the liar Brown out of the water.... this is setting that up nicely.

[PA Democrat]

16. And confirms which side is out of touch

I don't know how you cover-up or lie about what people are seeing brutally displayed on film. The Bush administration is criminally incompetent. They couldn't better coordinate an orderly evacuation of the people in the dome? They couldn't bring Porta-Johns for God's sake?

[crispini]

10. "carnage"

:cry:

[crispini]

11. women and children on the bus first....

amazing.

[crispini]

12. CHERTOFF IS SUCH A BULLSHITTER.

[Chichiri]

13. Please tell me the press has cajones now . . .

[Cleita]

15. They must be choking by now

on all the Bush dick they've been sucking all these years. Sorry to be so crude, but I couldn't put it any other way.

[speedoo]

31. Don't lump Ted Koppel in with the rest of them.

Ever since Iraq's occupation became a disaster, he has been very anti-Coward.

[crispini]

17. GO KOPPEL!

Really giving it to the FEMA guy!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

21. Brown is a self-serving prick. To say he didn't understand why more

people didn't leave before Katrina. Ted just nailed him, and he has Deflected and is Spinning away from what Ted asked him. Meanwhile, Ted should have kept at him about this.

[Chichiri]

18. Koppel's really letting the FEMA guy have it

I say thee yay, Ted.

[crispini]

19. "some of these people are dead"

"you say you were surprised. it's no surprise to anyone you had 100,000 people in NOLA that were dirt poor."

[PA Democrat]

20. Koppel is being very tough.

Brown said 'we're going to make things fight', and Koppel said, "Some of these people are dead."

Koppel is crucifying this liar.

[speedoo]

22. Ted is kicking Brown's ass. About time someone did. n/t

[crispini]

23. I want to cry.

GO KOPPEL.

[October]

24. I've never seen Koppel grill anyone like this!

He won't let up on FEMA director...

[speedoo]

29. He's nailed people like this before.

I think maybe Harvey Pitt... the Coward's SEC commissioner choice a while back.

A few others but my memory fails.

[crispini]

25. mommy.

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

[napi21]

26. WOW! Betcha Brown didn't expect this from Koppel!

Brown is bullshitting big time!

[Holly_Hobby]

27. Koppell just apologized to Brown for jumping on him

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

28. Yes, then but Emphasized how help has to provided to the people

in the Convention Center, putting Brown on the spot to do something. It was like Ted was playing bad and good cop all by himself.

[napi21]

32. That's Ted's way of tactfully telling Brown to get his damn act together!

If he left the TV broadcast stand, having beat the shit out of Brown, and probably pissing him off, it would have looked like he was placing all the blame on Brown. I don't think that's what Ted wanted to do, and he didn't! The real fault lies with the Commander in Chief! Remember him? The guy whos supposed to be in charge of all this stuff?

I won't slam Ted for buffering his badgering of Brown. He did a great job!

[PA Democrat]

30. Koppel gave Brown the toughest grilling he's gotten so far by a long shot

He laid the responsibility for the gross incompetence right at Brown's feet time and time again, and made it clear that people had DIED a a result.

Bravo Ted!

[GreenPartyVoter]

36. Finally. For a long time Ted has been too ** rah-rah for me.. but

I like to hear that he found his brain again.

33. "there were bodies floating by."

this just gets worse and worse and worse.

[nonconformist]

34. This is excellent coverage. Excellent.

Just what I've come to expect from Nightline.
