Exit 235, near the projects
Edited on Wed Aug-31-05 03:11 PM by paineinthearse
For the past 2 hours I have been watching faux's reporter beseaching local & state police about the plight of people stranded in the heat and sun for 2 days on the freeway near the projects.

I have to commend the reporter for his efforts to get relief.

In at least two interviews the police have blown him off. He even said that AF-1 flew over the scene, so * saw the refugees.

Babies and todlers have had no food or water or shelter for 2 days!

Can't local relief forces or Homeland Security send some water and buses?

Didn't get the reporter's name, but I'm sure his tenure at Faux is near its end.

Edit (see post 7) - "Another poster says it is Faux' Shepherd Smith."

1. CNN
Nobody on FOX has any compassion except for Greta's scary obsession with the Aruba girl

3. Anderson Cooper is with CNN. He's ok. I bet he will get them some help.
He put it on the air. That will get someone's attention.

6. The trouble with flying above the squalor
is that you don't feel a god damned thing.

I say, somebody loan Bush a pair of Wellies and put him to work for a change of pace.

4. I'll give these guys props when they have the balls to
relate this suffering to the suffering we inflicted on innocents in Iraq. Until then, there is so much whoring that they need to apologize for...
