5. A kick in the nuts.
You acvtually expect an all-somber cartoon, but he starts in his usual administration-ridiculing way. You relax and think, "ah, classic Fiore."

Then he kicks you in the nuts with an Army boot. :cry:

(Is that snippet from a real interview?)

Yes. The man completely broke down on TV.

15. "For God's sakes, shut up and send us some money"
Now, I wonder why CNN hasn't replayed that snippet 600 times or so, like it did with the Dean Scream?

Okay, I know why: One snippet reflected an inconvenient reality and the other, though totally dishonest, told a story that CNN desperately wanted to tell.

18. "Send us some money"? or "send us someBODY"
I think it was the latter

21. I'm nearly certain it was someBODY.
That's what it sounds like to me and it wouldn't make much sense for the man to be begging for money right at that moment.

48. That was a Meet the Press
interview on NBC last Sunday, not CNN, and MSNBC played it several times throughout the day and even the next.

29. Fiore is very powerful...
I don't always catch his newest animation but eventually I catch up & they are always incredible.

This is the most powerful I have seen. The use of the Aaron Broussard audio is so appropriate.

32. The first time a cartoon has ever made me cry.
The only other time I cried was when I saw that poor man in Mississippi whose wife was torn from his grasp.

35. Whew
It sounds strange but I have mostly been filled with anger over this whole disaster... hasn't been too much room for other emotions. When this cartoon ended, I just looked at my screen with tears in my eyes as the reality of what has happened REALLY hit me...

36. Fiore captures it well
That last section - Float parade and the audio of the Jefferson Parish president was the most powerful. "For gods sake stop with the press conferences and send somebody"
:cry:

45. Very powerful. Everytime I hear clips from that interview
with Broussard (sp?) I choke up. I saw the interview and sobbed along with him. Utterly tragic.
