Bush tells victim to go to Salvation Army - Sal. Army says supplies low
...and running out.


WASHINGTON, Sept 2 (Reuters) - The Salvation Army is running out of food and supplies to help survivors of Hurricane Katrina, and fears "donor fatigue" could put relief efforts at risk, a spokesman for the U.S. aid agency said on Friday.

"We are running out of food, running out of supplies, and are finding it extremely difficult to find food and supplies," Salvation Army spokesman Major George Hood told Reuters from Jackson, Mississippi.

"I don't know how many more days of supplies we have, but it's running out quickly, and the infrastructure is so strangled right now that it's going to be difficult to get fresh supplies in here," he said.

1. Someone told him their building was destroyed in Biloxi
First time I ever heard a fucking millionaire tell a homeless woman she could get clothes at the Salvation Army. He doesn't have people following him and helping those he uses for photo ops?

Let me use you on tvm, then go down that ruined building and see if they have anything to give you? Jesus Christ.

2. Don't worry.
Bush says he's going to make this better. :sarcasm:
