13. Yes, he said a nice little bit about how we did know this could happen.
He said it to jack before jack mentioned the race and class question. He mentioned how there was a ton of scientific writing laid out beforehand that predicted exactly what could happen.

21. I'm looking for that, too. Just missed it, arrghh!

I'm hoping that Olbermann will carry it. Unfortunately, both "The Daily Show" and Al Franken are in repeats this week, of all times! But I'm sure somebody will find it and post it on DU. Meanwhile, Wolf just announced he's going to have more with Cafferty.

I'm e-mailing CNN, praising Cafferty's remarks! We need to stand up for this guy who is finally speaking out!

on edit: here's Cafferty's address
caffertyfile@cnn.com

I don't have cable, but I've already written this Cafferty guy just to add my name to the list. Is Wolf Blitzer actually starting to understand?

9. Wolf just said
"they're so poor, and they're so black and this is just unbelievable."

No what's unbelievable is that Wolf just said that.

That's a direct quote, word for word, I just heard it.

11. Wolf just said "These people are so poor, and so black."
Seems like a strange way to put it, but at least they are getting it. They are not kissing *'s feet anymore.

22. I've been watching MSNBC most of the day and the anchors
have been near tears. This is a major turning point as far as MSM goes. All of a sudden they're getting it.

26. i hope so - maybe because tragedy is up close and happening right before
all our eyes
that even they cant turn away

except maybe paula zahn but what matters is that people get help
what will matter is that people with any power - media - are outraged and screaming for help for fellow humans

27. It cannot be denied
Unlike excursions to the "all is well" Green Zone in Iraq, these journalists on the ground in N.O. are seeing the ugly truth close-up and personal. And no amount of spin from the blow-dried bots (who are safe, warm, hydrated and far removed from danger) can "cut" the reality of what they are seeing.

I'd love to see some of the edited exchanges between those reporters on the ground and the drones back in the studio!

28. Cafferty "I'll probably be audited by the IRS for the next several years..
...but I don't care."

He'll be lucky if that's all that happens to him. He probably won't even have a job or wages to tax...
