1. The very FACT that she is in a SUIT in a STUDIO

pisses me off. This interview should be coming from the GROUND..she should have a workshirt and jeans and GLOVES on.

Get your ASS out there...you can set up mobile command, you can DO SOMETHING besides being obtuse dammit!

2. how f**cking stupid is THAT???

do you honestly expect her to be more productive in a 'workshirt, jeans and gloves' than she can be trying to do from her office? or advocating for the people from a studio where people can hear her? Get some fucking perspective.

4. Katrina exposes the dangers of the concept of ramping-up

No one wants to spend money on preparedness.

Too bad biological demands of survival can't be put on hold while governments ramp-up their efforts over the period of 3-4 days.
