2. It's so hard to believe
I was just watching CNN, watching the convoy of military vehicles pass through the streets I walked through, grew up in, passed through a few weeks ago. I saw the buildings where I delivered Christmas presents to offices. I saw streets where I watched Mardi Gras parades. And I finally lost it, crying for about 10 minutes. I can't believe this is happening. It's a war zone in my city. I just want to close my eyes and make it all go away.

6. You're not alone... I feel like I've been drug behind a truck, I can't
even imagine how horrible it must be for you watching this happening to your home. It's an unreal nightmare.

4. I don't have a problem with that headline
especially as the previous headline on CNN.com was "WHERE'S THE HELP?"

Frankly, it's a great relief to see that convoy.

7. Too bad it took them 120 hours instead of 24 or 48.
Hell even 72 may have saved some people. Blech. The response by the government to this disaster is the WORST IN HISTORY!

13. Took time to deal with the EVIL people
"Who were thwarting us at every turn"

Yep, Rove's back with more media-flavored Kool-Aid.

11. Seems like another poster was right; they timed the relief
to fit *'s "schedule"; it wasn't going to come until he was ready for his photo op (then they could spin it as "the hero has arrived to save the day"!) :puke:

19. In some ways it's hard to throw off the desire that Bushco totally and
unremedially fuck up to the point of no return and that LO! the eyes of the Bushbots are uncovered!

However, we are all wanting those people in NO to get relief and rescue which rightfully and properly MUST overcome our baser need for revenge. We're about people and doing what's right.

SO, I welcome those flotillas of trucks and boots and can just wince at the upcoming photo ops. You have to admit that people are wanting comfort, hugs and a friendly voice that has the power to make things happen and Bush is good at that everyman role. Heck if Attila the Hun could act as well, he'd be greeted the same.
