12. Police chief was outraged, really i thought he was gonna pull out his gun

on stage...

he was pissed at the media for interviewing a few cowards, as he put it, instead of showing all the heroic stuff the NOPD was doing the last few days. He gave some harrowing stories, about suicides, infections, sleeping in the streets. also praised Nagin, jackson on now.

hope they replay that bit, it was quite powerfull.

4. Doesn't sound like he's

gonna let Mayor Nagin take the rap for chimpy's failures. Yes, he's hot.

[Garbo 2004]

11. The broke from Jesse when he was talking about the feds apparent

lack of preparation. I was just waiting for Wolfie to break it off and sure enough he did.

[Be Brave]

8. Sorry, DU is very slow now.

He was basically defending NO police performance through all of this. He was telling about people they were trying to rescue who shot at them. They were using their own boats, implying there was no outside help.

Rev. Jackson saying something about rejecting mass relief and mass evacuation.

Then CNN cuts the feed. Nuts.

[Extend a Hand]

10. grrr

LOSER. *SSHOLE.

[Spazito]

13. He was detailing what the NO police were doing WITHOUT

help for 5 days. He is furious at the media focusing in on "a few cowards" and not on the heroic efforts performed by all the rest of his people, the rescues, etc. It was an excellent rant, imo.

[Pithy Cherub]

14. Chief: we slept on the streets, we had no rest rooms, we had

people shooting at us while trying to rescue people. We had officers using their own boats. Yes, we had a few COWARDS (Said with great disdain) who walked away, but we shoud be focusing on the HEROIC efforts of those who did their jobs. He was visibly angry and it was very powerful! :applause:

[bribri16]

15. The NO police who were involved in this are true heros. We heroized

evey NYC policeman (and rightly so) after 9/11. The scale of this catastrophe makes these police as much and maybe even more heroic. My heart goes out to them.

[Be Brave]

21. Bingo. n/t

[zippy890]

22. damn right they are heros

more so than 9/11

[globalvillage]

16. Obama at Astrodome

[MadeinOhio]

20. Demand that they get more and demand accountability!!!

[AngryWhiteLiberal]

18. Whoops. Someone let negative Chimperator news out...QUICK CUT HIM OFF

Leslie is such a fucking tool. How dare Rev. Jackson bring up salient and important points about how Shrub is ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE for this fuck-up.

19. My heart goes out to the NOPD

those brave officers, what they went through, I support the police chief - that must have been hell for them. They should be given medals at a minimum

and I am so so sorry for those officers that killed themselves, and thier familes & friends, so awful, no help for them in time.:cry: :cry:
