anderson cooper just asked where is the government?

[dogindia]

where is the help? At least cnn is saying it. What good it will do. I don't know.

[davidinalameda]

1. good for him

wonder when they'll fire him for it

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

10. The military's coming in soon.... They won't have to fire him,

he'll be mistaken for a looter.

[sepia_steel]

2. they're in iraq spreading freedom

to Islamic men.

[jsamuel]

3. ANDERSON IS GOING NUTS!!!

WHERE THE F$#& IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT?

[kenny blankenship]

9. Stop Anderson, YOU'RE THROWING YOUR CAREER AWAY!

you cannot you must not question the preparedness or sincerity of reponse of the Bush Administration to this ACT OF DIVINE RETRIBUTION UPON A WIKKID CITY.

[elehhhhna]

11. He's filthy rich already, doesn't need the job.

[OhioBlue]

4. i'm listening

the FEMA director feels their pain. He says "it is gonna happen" Anderson is laying out the severity of the situation. Why can't they airlift in water and food... FEMA director says that it will be done.....

[koopie57]

6. I saw that too and I wonder

has there ever been a time in the US when help wasn't there almost immediately? I don't recall a time when people had to wait for help to arrive? Did this happen with Andrew?

[lancdem]

8. The poor response to Andrew ultimately

hurt Poppy politically in 1992.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

17. Yes, this did happen with Andrew.

People wrote "WHERE IS GEORGE?" on their rooftops. Poppy went to Ocean reef in the upper Keys to check on his friends, but ignored the poor suckers in south Florida who lost everything.

And yes, that is when many people down here turned on bush sr. and spread the word. And ultimately down came his re-election dreams.

You'd have thought junior would have learned something from that. But then again, he's not running for anything anymore, so he really doesn't give a shit.

[HEAVYHEART]

5. Good for him

He's there and he knows first hand and has seen what people are going through.

[CrazyForKucinich]

7. Dumbasses will still probably vote Conservative

in the 2008 election.

[rogue_bandit]

12. I don't know about that

My most conservative friend (neck so read it burns you if you touch it :-) no longer supports his favorite president. I was surprised at breakfast today when he told me that. He wants someone, any party, to come forward with a real plan to get us out of debt and improve the economy. He's a truck drive so you can imagine his concern for the price of gas.

[milkyway]

13. cooper got way off script tonight. He was ad libbing, and he was pissed.

[jokerman93]

15. Good

Finally, a little humanity - a little reality in all the scripted bullshit of the corporate media. I noticed he was wrapped pretty tightly last night - holding it together. Flat affect - very objective as he reported. Guess he finally snapped. What person with a heart wouldn't in all that unnecessary suffering?

[rainman99]

14. Just think what we could do with the soldiers that are in Iraq

and the money that's gone there.

[Horse with no Name]

16. When you find out the answer to the question we have been asking

and being labelled as being Un-American for asking....let us know.

[halobeam]

18. His coverage is quite humane tonight.

Sobering for anyone with a heart.
