Fucking unbelievable whats going on down there. As far as I'm concerned this is the biggest fuck up Bush has done. People with no food or water for 4 days. Bush knew this storm was coming almost a week ago and still nothing has been done. Sorry, I'm furious over this.

3. People dead at the convention center
He said he could only film half of what he saw. There are people dead in their lawn chairs, two babies dead of dehydration.

Maybe Bush should visit the convention center when he goes there.

19. It should be looked as an impeachable offense from that idiot down.
he hates protests so they stopped taking phone calls.

But the senators and reps haven't stopped taking calls.

13. Yes, and Condoleeza's enjoying shoe-shopping and Broadway shows.
The Secretary of State should be forced to watch that report, so that she can get an idea of the "state" she represents.

17. People are dying from dehydration in the convention
Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 05:41 PM by lizzy
center, and buses are sitting outside the city because drivers are afraid to go in.
The guy also said people have been behaving very well in the convention center, considering, and a desperate for help.
And they haven't seen any officials at all, they are completely abandoned even though they are law abiding citizens. It's all very, very sad.
