Adminstration Put on Full Blast on Today Show
Did anyone else just see the Today Show? Mat and Katie basically just but the Bushies on full blast. Katie hammered Michael Brown, and then Mat talked about the factor of race.

It was great!

5. And a mostly horrified nation is watching it live.
Which probably means that Bush is looking for a way to get them to stop airing this and future disasters.

6. They were disorganized. The psyops officers were MIA or something.
They've since disallowed new reporters from entering the area, and will probably eject and/or assassinate reporters still there.

those in high places? What took you so long,you jerks? The White House's attitude did not develop over night. This is the result of their arrogance and stupidity and racist attitude.

7. I saw that.... they were both honest and brutal...
..as well they should be. This is a horrifying, pathetic disaster that was made much worse by this admin's ineptitude and ignorance towards anything outside of their own sphere of concern. I hope they all rot.

8. They might keep reporters OUT
but this time these victims speak ENGLISH and they are willing to talk to reporters.

In fact people who survived are going to need to talk to anyone who will listen -- it will take a long time for the survivors to get over what they have been through. They are going to need help to cope -- they will probably have survivor's guilt.

Right now they are probably in shock and they are angry. But when they realize that their life has been changed -- perhaps for ever. They have been uprooted from their community --and they have probably lost people that were important in their lives.

People are going to talk -- and this can be documented -- unlike what is happening in Iraq. Plus the media has been doing their job -- they are being our eyes and ears. We can't be there -- so they have to do the best job they can to share with us what they are seeing and feeling.

People are also calling the talk shows -- the liberal ones that I listen to -- with experiences of their own or of family members. Their story is getting out.

and this is the most important part -- WE ARE THEIR WITNESSES.

We have get their message through to all the Congressional Reps and Senators.

Bushie's team is going to try to spin this -- like they lie and spin everything -- but this time there are too many witnesses.

And thousands are dying because of the incompetent fool in the white house.

Bushie is responsible -- because the idiots running Homeland Security and FEMA are his hand selected bastards.
