Even Bob Schieffer's CBS Evening News has turned on Bush

Report about how relief has arrived much more quickly at other hurricanes (water, food etc).

1. Oh, but that was during an election year,

in a state with more electoral votes.

3. Yeah, it was pretty scathing

I take no comfort from it, because I don't believe it will help any at all. The booshes are basically going to "shoot the messengers" by not letting them report from NO.

16. Yes, I didn't mean to diminish that fact

Maybe, just maybe, if the press starts criticizing, the administration will pay heed. I'm just so frustrated, and it seems everybody else in the world is except for Baghdad Bob and the Baghdad Bushes.

5. Yeah, but that was an election year.

Bush has priorities. Photo ops are one of them.

6. Highlights here.....

"surprising shortage of force"

"not enough people to even pick up the dead"

Survivor has message for president (paraphrasing)... "you got all those helicopters helping people in Iraq but you don't have any here for us"

Bob Schiefer notes the surprising difference in the view from the press conferences in Washington to the (reality) the view of the CBS reporters on the ground.

Comfort ship TWO weeks away!

Still much confusion. The state thought the hospitals were already evacuated and that why no one was helping them.

Video of a man holding a baby say there was not medicine, no formula, no diapers for the babies.

Strong report. Very sad.

9. I remember after the Mississippi flooded

in 95 IIRC, the people in IA were talking about how they'd never seen the Fed act so quickly to get aid there. Compare how a real admin works to these vile losers.

17. Well, gee, that was when Jeb needed help...

This administration just hung themselves with rope that they provided, in my opinion...

This is such an outrage...
