(Even when Robert Siegel asked him direct and precise questions, this inept Jackass wouldn't answer the question.

He finally sort of answered the question of, "when are you going to bring food and water to the stranded people at the N.O. Convention Center?", several of who had actually died at this point due to having NO Water and NO Food, and had been shown on CNN.

The link to the audio is below, but is about to be replayed on the most NPR Radio stations NOW! (6:06pm EDT))

All Things Considered, September 1, 2005 · Days after Hurricane Katrina made landfall east of New Orleans, thousands remain stranded in the city, many without food or fresh water. The city's mayor has issued what he called an "Urgent SOS" for help.

Heavily armed National Guard troops evacuated people from the squalid conditions of the damaged Superdome; the evacuees are being bused to the Astrodome in Houston.

But it has now emerged that people stranded at the New Orleans Convetion Center -- about eight blocks away from the Superdome -- are in dire straights, lacking basic essentials and avoiding corpses and waste on the streets.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff is overseeing the biggest recovery operation in U.S. history. President Bush is proposing $10 billion in relief for the area.
