Chertoff said that conditions in the Superdome
"weren't as bad as the media had been reporting." Just saw this on NewsNight. Right after Aaron Brown did a story illustrated by pictures a woman staying in the dome had taken on disposable cameras of her escape from her home with her children, and of the inside of the Dome.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE ASSHOLES! THEY WOULD RATHER HAVE PEOPLE DIE THAN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OR TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT ANYTHING!

:grr:

6. Babs has already floated this for the AstroDome evacuees
So much better than the homes they left behind those dreadful people will want to stay.

9. I swear, these people (the BushCo's) are NOT human!
Just go take yourself to the spa, Babs, and leave us alone. We'll get along much better without you and yours.

21.  " Storm related structural damage" will be the reason..
Edited on Tue Sep-06-05 11:08 PM by candy
One of those catchall excuses like "I'm leaving the job to spend more time with my family" and "Pilot error" (dead pilot of course)

31. How 'bout we stick him and Brownie in there for FIVE DAYS, without
cleaning it up, and see if he still thinks that? I like that idea. FREAKIN' INHUMAN FILTH!

7. Yeah but would he have wanted his wife and daughter to be there

8. they are simply unable to tell the truth....or, to put it another way,
Lies are so easy and natural for them. Very, very small people who somehow find themselves in inappropriately significant positions - but hopefully not for very much longer (Bush is the best example, and the one who MUST go as the enabler for all of this bullshit)

15. Geez, what makes them say these stupid things?
Why on earth would he say such a thing knowing every newscrew has been up and down that place and talked to people inside?

Are they now just going on whatever shit they conjure up on the spot?

23. I think they've always operated on the "conjured up"
Truth is definitely a stranger to these folks.

16. Unfortunately, we both heard right.
I just cannot believe the heartlessness and cruelty of people. I mean, I have known nasty people in my life, but they are absolutely nothing compared to these jokers. I just keep holding on to my belief that ultimately peace wins over war, and love wins over hate. (But sometimes, it's very hard to hold on to!)

14. Inside Edition sent a camera man and a reporter in there today
And the reporter was gagging from the stench. I could barely watch it. It was absolutely repulsive.

29. That one should come back to bite him in the ass.
I gotta believe that a number of reporters are going to contradict that statement.

Of course, statements like Chertoff's may be more aimed at their base, using the "(liberal) media" meme to divert responsibility in the (vacant) minds of their drones/followers.

32. We need to send...
Cherthoff, Brown, Bush, and his mommy to the Super Dome with tooth brushes and not allow them to leave until they've cleaned up the mess.
