"For God's sake, are you blind?" MSNBC reporter to FEMA head
http://www.news24.com/News24/World/Hurricane_Katrina/0,,2-10-1942_1766111,00.html

Washington - "For God's sake, are you blind?," a woman shouts at the head of the federal emergency management agency (FEMA), Michael Brown.

"You're patting each other on the back, while people here are dying."

The woman is not a victim of Hurricane Katrina. She is a reporter with US television network MSNBC who is so affected by the misery she has witnessed she can hold back no longer.

"Katrinagate" is the term being used by the media to describe the biggest challenge facing the political establishment in the US since the Watergate affair in the 1970s toppled Richard Nixon.

3. Excuse me senator, I'm sorry for interrupting"
Another CNN reporter interrupted senator Mary Landrieu during an interview in which she was praising congress for passing an emergency aid package.

"Excuse me senator, I'm sorry for interrupting. I haven't heard anything about that, because I was busy these past four days seeing dead people on the street.

"And when I hear how one politician congratulating the others...Yesterday there was a corpse on the street which had been eaten by rats because it had been there for 48 hours."

5. That was Anderson Cooper. I wonder who the MSNBC reporter was?
Anyone want to harbor a guess?
