Zombie Fuck Chertoff: Death toll expected to 'be an unhappy number'
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- Crews worked to drain the putrid floodwaters out of New Orleans on Tuesday, as authorities warned of the horrors still submerged in the city.

Mayor Ray Nagin told NBC's "Today" that he did not know how many bodies would be revealed once the waters recede. "It's going to be awful, and it's going to wake the nation up again," Nagin said.

Speaking in Baton Rouge on Monday, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff warned the body recovery process would be "very difficult" and said it would take some time before officials would have a reliable death toll.

"It's going to be an unhappy number," he added.

1. And they are looking at mass graves with no autopsy so no time of death
will be noted. After all...it's understandable if they died on Monday or Tuesday but some of these deaths will be this week.

8. They'll identify the bodies.
The number of families that will be affected. I don't want to know how they died.
Can't stop thinking about being trapped in an attic. This is a horror not an "unhappy" episode.

3. "It's going to wake the nation up again"
When the death toll passes that of the WTC on 9/11, when the death toll passes those lost in the Iraq war......

The MSM needs to post these totals - all occurred under the Bush regime. Post them daily, as they did the number of days there were hostages in Iran.

Wake the nation up. Good quote.

16. Yes, good one! Kicked and nominated.
Everyone needs to be reminded. Because the bad guys are working overtime to try and cloud the issue and make sure people throw up their hands in disgust and "move on."

20. "0"
Unless you happen to count the administration officials who might someday wind up in an unmarked grave themselves, with due process, of course.
