I, like Mizar, stayed for Katrina. During the interview parts with Bush, I saw the lies. With all the money that was supposedly raised, why is there
still so much devistation? The story Aaron Broussard told about the woman drowning did turn out to be not true. While I don't think he was
intentionally lying, so many rumors were going around, no one knew what was going on because there was no power or communications. Geraldo was over
the top but the stress of the situation made you feel that way. How could Americans be living like this 6 days after the storm? As far as FEMA goes,
it was three days after the storm before we even knew Red Cross and FEMA were here. (I live on the northshore.)
The parish I live in is predominately white and we heard of looting in our area. As a matter of fact my husband and his co-worker brought loaded
handguns to work for two weeks because there was no power and they were dealing with cash. (Not to mention they had been robbed just months before the
storm.)
The government failed us and Bush is a liar. I haven't believed a word out of that man's mouth since the war in Iraq started.
What was with the Frank Zappa part? Sorry, Frank is dead.
BTW, Mizar, I grew up in Metairie and LOVE Harry Lee. I loved the part about Harry Lee reconnecting the communication lines. Don't mess with Harry!
