Anyone just see Christiane Ammanpour and Anderson Cooper on CNN?

[SeattleGirl]

Talking to each other about how, in the overall picture, things are starting to happen, but on the ground, it does not seem that way. Blasting the lack of communication for people to call out and get word to their families that they are alive. Christiane said, "Can you believe this is America?" and talking about how the rest of the world is looking at all this with disbelief. Good on both of them.

1. I can't believe this is America .

I always believe that we were invincible that something like this would never ever happen in America ; that American citizens would never be left to suffer like this . Oh how I was wrong ...

2. I know I can't believe it. :^(

3. James Lee Witt on now n/t

[klebean]

4. Whoa - after seeing Nagin's disclosure on what he, bush and blanco

discussed, and now Witt's employment by Blanco who "wants the best" on the scene,
this is a huge huge slap at bush and his fuck up appointees

[SeattleGirl]

6. Yeah, that guy is PISSED!

I think if he could get his hands on *, he'd do more than punch him.

[CottonBear]

12. What did Nagin say or do you have a link to a thread about what he said?

Mayor Nagin and Governor Blanco looked like they did not want to be anywhere near President Nero at the phot op at the NOLA airport. I just listened to Nagin's radio inerview again and it brought me to tears.

Thanks for any info you can provide.

This is Not America!
(from "The Falcon and the Snowman")

This is not America, sha la la la la

A little piece of you
The little peace in me
Will die
For this is not America

Blossom fails to bloom
This season
Promise not to stare
Too long
For this is not the miracle

There was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have
The faintest idea

This is not america, no, this is not, sha la la la la]

Snowman melting
From the inside
Falcon spirals
To the ground
So bloody red
Tomorrow's clouds

A little piece of you
The little piece in me
Will die
For this is not America

There was a time
A wind that blew so young
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have the faintest idea

This is not america, no, this is not, sha la la la
This is not america, no, this is not
This is not america, no, this is not, sha la la la]

10. I believe Anderson Cooper really wants to get some real

answers to his questions. He seems to be getting more and more frustrated with all the political double-speak. He's being a complete bulldog with everyone he talks to. Wish all the rest of them would be that insistent. Maybe if they could all do their jobs that thoroughly, we'd finally get some true information.

[MidnightWind]

15. I agree. He keeps talking about how people, survivors,

keep walking up to him and asking him to ask the officials these things. I think it's pretty apparent that he cares deeply about his interview subjects and he's just apalled by what he's seen down there. Remember this is a guy who has gone all over the world and covered many disasters and wars. He's seen a lot. And for him to say that this is the worst thing he's ever seen, that should tell us all something. He's done a great job there this past week.

[goclark]

20. He sure is a surprise NOW! Hope the old Anderson

never comes back.

He has been awesome.

[RandiFan1290]

11. Randi has said for quite some time

If you see Amanpour reporting from the streets of America. You know we are in trouble.

[SlowDownFast]

19. yep. Amen.

And it's only the start of what's to come.

More Cat 5 hurricane's thanks to global warming.

More protests, that will get violent.

Earthquakes anyone?

The xtian right's self-fulfilled prophesies, not to mention the native american's unself-fulfilled prophesies (Mama Earth's revenge) are coming.

Such a shame everyone can't get together and divert it all.

It could be diverted.

It's the greed, stupids...

[bliss_eternal]

13. Is there a way to contact them, to thank them for their honesty

in reporting this?

[cbear70]

14. I have to agree nt.

[Rose Siding]

18. Amanpour is listed here-

17. As if we didn't already look like a bunch of assholes...

This President is disgracing us as a nation. I am completely embarrassed.

[Rhiannon12866]

21. I saw them. More and more reporters are reacting like this,

especially those on the ground, like these two, who see the people and the unbelievable suffering, up close and personal. But there was also Tim Russert, this morning, when he went off on Chertoff. Wow. And Jack Cafferty last week on Wolf Blitzer's show. And Sheppard Smith on FOX. Even the traditional apologists for the right and critics of the left are getting into the act, and far past time, if they have any journalistic integrity at all. Totally amazing, nonetheless.
:wow:
