(here comes propaganda offensive re: dead bodies)


Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff is warning Americans to be prepared for what he calls an "ugly scene" in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The secretary's comments referred to the flooded city of New Orleans, where receding waters are revealing corpses of victims, which officials say could number in the thousands.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said there will be more grisly signs of Katrina's devastation in the days to come.

"I think we need to prepare the country for what's coming," Chertoff says. "What's going to happen when we de-water and remove the water from New Orleans is, we are going to uncover people who have died, maybe hiding in houses, got caught by the flood, people whose remains are going to be found in the streets. There is going to be pollution. It is going to be about as ugly a scene as you can imagine."

He spoke on "Fox News Sunday." His colleague, Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt, had no exact figures, but he told CNN he believes the death toll will at least be in the thousands.

7. The draining will reveal one ugly scene. The Congressional hearings

yet another. And you, Helium Breath, will spend many, many uncomfortable days being grilled and then disgraced by the Senate.

8. I hope Michael Moore can take a break from his healthcare movie and..

.. get a camera crew down there.

This would make one heck of a documentary. And yet another eye-opener from him!

would could do this catastrophe justice.
