Russert blasts Government over handling of Katrina

Tim appeared on The Imus Show this morning and leveled scathing criticism all around to the "powers that be" in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.



Tim blasted Bush for saying he didn't know the levees could be breached. He said, " The roll of the government is to protect its people." Tim also brought up one of the biggest factors of all. After 9/11 and the communications problems between the policeman and fireman, was a big factor in so many deaths. This President pledged in their honor never to let that happen again. What have they been doing for four years? Imus brought up the racial angle wondering if Beverly Hills had been hit how would the response be. "...the right people didn't care enougha bout those people period."

2. I heard that!

I woke up with the TV still on and didn't know WTF this show was. I've never watched MSNBC that early in the morning and had no idea IMUS has his own show. It kind of sucks, BTW. Russert was on the telephone. He very calmly, over several minutes, ripped the Bush Administration to shreds!
