1. Orders from on high ...

3. * must be really desperate now - Nagin is the only one speaking the truth

Ray Nagin doesn't give a FUCK what * thinks now.

5. my heart goes out to him

6. That is exactly right. He said they're not gonna wanna deal with him

...after he let Bush & Co have it on their inaction and lack of effective support.

4. he was a reporter for God's sakes

I was waiting and waiting for him to address how the plan went to congress and it was gutted! It was the perfect moment to address it!

2. I think they are all so desperate to get help that they won't say anything

The media has tried and tried to get Mary Landrieu to trash the lack of federal response, and Gov. Blanco too, but they refused to do it. I think they are so desperate to get help, that they won't risk offending Commander Pantywaist on rhythm guitar.

7. Because he's the guy from CNN. They are purchased by the WH

8. Was it John McQuaid?

yesterday's Democracy Now:

kinda danced around it.

10. yes that was him

God, you would think he would be more than a little pissed after all of the work he did.

[Ninga]

9. The reporter "tapped danced" with his words very, very carefully

while American citizens in the city he reports on are dying and starving from lack of clean water and help.

11. The psyops officers from Ft. Bragg must be back.
