Frist is beyond disgusting.
ETA: So is Lou Dobbs, who keeps harping on the fact that "if there's a racial element to this, why aren't people focusing on the black mayor?" and noting the "contrast between how the people of NY reacted after 9/11 and the people of New Orleans."
le nubian, who is speaking in the quote marks in that post?
Man, I loved the part where Brown said "We are going to get these people's lives back in order," and Koppel said "Mr. Brown, some of these people are *dead.* They're beyond your help."
Go, Ted!

Bob just said to me over the phone: "at least we will finally, definitively know who is responsible for this disaster when he or she is awarded the Medal of Freedom."

Yeah, I just mentioned that in Boxed Set.
Sooner or later, local agencies are going to say "To hell with FEMA, we're going down there on our own recognizance."
I just saw one bottled water company say that on the news. "So we called the municipalities directly and they were glad to hear from us."
On a COMPLETELY shallow note: Is there any way to fuck a human voice? Marty Savage on NBC has just won my heart. I hope Peter Jennings can forgive me for moving on so quickly but my GOD.
