OHMYGOD! On Rita Cosby show just now ... she asked Col. Gomez

[Zen Democrat]

who is heading up the Air Force task force why it is taking so long to get people out of the Convention Center. This man actually, said, "It's not taking as long as people think."

Can you believe this shit?

[LisaM]

1. What, do I have the day wrong?

It's Friday, right? He's saying it didn't take until Friday? And that some people are still there.

2. Bush/FEMA admitted they had been totally unaware of

anyone even being housed at the convention center.

7. The sad part is that I believe them ...

They have proven that they are so incredibly incompetent, that if someone didn't lead them by the hand (through the raw sewage) to the convention center and explain why the people were there ... they would be "unaware."

Either that or ...

They didn't really care ... hmmmmm

[bleever]

3. That stunned me. They're probably not as thirsty or hungry or dead

as they think either.

[elehhhhna]

4. right. and this guy is "napping comfortably":

[blonndee]

5. Just now on Fox, Shepherd and Geraldo say people are LOCKED UP in the Conv

ention center and there's a checkpoint down the road to prevent people from walking out! Geraldo is begging, LET THEM GO!! LET THEM WALK OUT!!

8. Where are the buses? I heard the Super Dome was empty. Why

are these people still not being taken out of the city?

[RoyGBiv]

6. Ummm....

I still have a watch. It works. Yeah, just checked it against an online atomic clock. It's actually running a tad slow, so this is taking longer than I think.

Oh, wait ... that's right. I'm in that thar reality-based world. I don't count.
