was talking about what a great job they have done and how many lives they saved. He also spoke of how heroic the rescue workers are. The CNN anchor asked to him, with all due respect, if they acted quicker wouldn't they have saved more lives. This person than spun and spun placing the blame on the Mayor and Governor for not asking for help earlier enough. Hello! They were trying to evacuate the area for 2 whole days!

8. I'm watching Patrick now. He is trying to push the blame off on LA and NO
as he claims it was their responsible to ask for help, and then coordinate that help(?).

18. Ahh,, Patrick Rhode again.
This guy is a complete asswipe. I thought he was very ineffective each time they had him on earlier in the week.

Was he any good this time?

11. This guy has been on TV all week too.
