since our MSM can only cover one major story at a time. Yes, I am watching CNN and this is happening. All Rehnquist, nothing on NO at the top of the hour.
YES, Rehnquist's passing is a HUGE story, YES it deserves attention, but Rehnquist is DEAD now and will be DEAD tomorrow, and the next day... in fact I hear he is ging to be dead all week, and then some. But THOUSANDS of people in NO are dying NOW and they can be SAVED.
The only motivation that bastard in the WH has to move his ass and get help for the suffereing, are the shameful pictures and reports being broadcast into our homes. Don't tell me that the FOX NEWS broadcast with Shepard Smith and Geraldo had nothing to do with the fact that the COnvention Center was emptied 24 hours later- of course it did.

No one knows how many were killed by Hurricane Katrina's floods and how many more succumbed waiting to be rescued. But the bodies are everywhere: hidden in attics, floating among the ruined city, crumpled on wheelchairs, abandoned on highways.
And the dying goes on - at the convention center and an airport triage center, where bodies were kept in a refrigerated truck.<snip>
Touring the airport triage center, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., a physician, said "a lot more than eight to 10 people are dying a day." <snip>
Three babies died at the New Orleans Convention Center from heat exhaustion, said Mark Kyle, a medical relief provider.<snip>
In the French Quarter, some residents refused or did not know how to get out. Some holed up with guns.
As the warehouse district burned, Ron Seitzer, 61, washed his dirty laundry in the even dirtier waters of the Mississippi River and said he didn't know how much longer he could stay without water or power, surrounded by looters.
"I've never even had a nightmare or a beautiful dream about this," he said as he watched the warehouses burn. "People are just not themselves."
