Here is part of what he said, got it from radioblogger.com (they were critical of Cafferty).


WB: It's...what can I say. It's a horrible situation. Did you ever think in our lifetime a major American city like New Orleans, population a half a million, could be in a disaster situation like this?

JC: No, you don't think of it. But then, if you look back at the history, Wolf, I guess in a way, they were sort of were living on borrowed time. 1965 was the last big hurricane. The Army Corps of Engineers went in and built those levees to withstand a Category 3 storm. Apparently, that was all the technology and/or the budget would allow at the time. And Category is not as strong as it gets. And one day, two days ago, the unthinkable happened. And you know, like I said, they've been living on borrowed time. You have to wonder, watching these pictures and listening to these accounts, if we'll ever see the City of New Orleans as we all remember the Big Easy. And where's President Bush? Is he still on vacation?

WB: He's cut short his vacation. He's coming back to Washington tomorrow.

JC: Oh, that'd be a good idea. He was out in San Diego, I think at a Naval Air Station, giving a speech on Japan and the war in Iraq today. Based on his approval rating in the latest polls, my guess is getting back to work might not be a terrible idea. That's not the question of this hour, however.
