Russert interviewing one of the local NOLA supervisors trying to fix the breach in a levee. Talked of working 24/7 for three days to get it done and getting no help from the Feds.
He talked of one of his workers whose mother was trapped in a nursing home calling him on the phone every day asking to be rescued. For 4 days he told her help was coming. On Friday she finally drowned.
He broke down in tears. No way was he letting Russert try to blame this on the governor or NO officials.
2. I don't know how Russert continued the interview.
I was a basket case. My HOPE is that Bush and his tribe are forced (using some of their own rubber stamped torture techniques) to watch that interview over and over and over again.
Russert was trying to cut away from him before he started to tell the story. He said something like, I just want to say one more thing, then you can tell me to shut up. I was reduced to tears myself. Oh. My. God.
being deliberately cut? That they reconnected the phones, and I think he said they were cut again.
I didn't get who did that ~ he said something also about money going to Iraq ~ that needs to be said over and over again, and the cuts to domestic programs.
He said the people were 'abandoned by their country'.
