1. 'nobody told us anyone needed food or water'

28. 'what, you mean people in 100 degree heat and no a/c get thirsty?'
'They always exaggerate with that 8 glasses a day thing', 'and did I forget to mention, we're clueless'

7. I'd suggest this idiot sit down and watch
CNN for an hour or two. Maybe he would know what is going on then.

10. I bet it was from the NPR interview with Sec'y Chertoff
Chertoff said he had no idea what was going on at the Conv. Center and was half doubting the NPR host.

The NPR host kept hammering at Chertoff that an NPR reporter was on-site with 2,000 people who'd had no food/water for 4 days.

16. These FEMA assholes have electricity for their TV's...
The thing I take some satisfaction in is probably they are sick to their stomachs that the press has turned on them... May they get even sicker because the deaths of thousands is on their hands and hopefully on their consciences for the rest of their natural days!

19. Ummm....
I knew that the convention center needed food and water several days ago, because I watch cable television. Perhaps they should make me head of FEMA, since the current head is obviously a total dumbass.

21. How can they send in TROOPS who need water and food ... but not water and
... food for the people who're there??? How many thousands of troops do they want to send in? What about the 15-20,000 people in and around the convention center who don't have water and food? This is a massive clusterfuck. Insane. Insane.

27. There isn't a FEMA person within miles from them. Nothing.
One chopper (by mistake?) dropped enough food and/or water for a few dozen people where there're 15-20,000 who came because they were told to. Not a single government or relief person there. Not one.

But the Bushtards can send in armed troops, huh? Unfreakingreal.

30. Now the LA Governor Blanco says she's getting 30,000 troops.
Water. Food. Shelter. All that is needed for troops, too.

How can they "support the troops" with food, water, and shelter ... but not the people?
