Anderson Cooper just asked THE question.

[im10ashus]

"If there were an attack in New Orleans, would the response have been quicker? Would they have mobilized troops sooner?"

[Beaverhausen]

1. my life just flashed before my eyes

reporters asking real questions!!!

[im10ashus]

5. Mine too.

I was SHOCKED! Shocked I tell you.

[im10ashus]

8. OMFG!

Are you LISTENING to him? WOW Anderson! You go boy!

[Beaverhausen]

22. no- I just read what you wrote

what is he saying? I'm still at work.

[ultraist]

17. We need to send Anderson a thank you email!

I want to tell Mary to STFU! She sounds so patronizing.

[TahitiNut]

27. Ditto. Ubetcha. Mary's reading off the wrong scripts. Disgusting.

[im10ashus]

33. What is his email?

I want to praise his courage.

[classof56]

2. Sadly, given the scum we have in power, I fear the answer would be:

No.

Tired Old Cynic

[Doctor_J]

3. Well, he is the war president

everything he does is done in terms of fighting a war, so I'd say yes.

[Pithy Cherub]

4. AC also said we pay taxes there should be $.

The press seems shocked that the BFEE is incompetent to the degree that is embarrassing us all.

[phish420]

6. My question is...

...if this had happened in an upscale area like La Jolla, CA or Naples, FL where the population is more white and more rich, would the response have been quicker? I think yes.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

19. You'd better believe it. There'd be private jets picking us up.

(I'm in Naples).

[The Wielding Truth]

31. What makes you think so? Are you an Oil Tycoon. If not I think

will get the same brushoff.

[Pacifist Patriot]

25. Not a doubt in my mind.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

7. If New Orleans were in Florida,

if Fuckface were up for reelection, if, if, if.

Bunch of poor people dying in New Orleans. So what? They're not registered Republicans, nor are they part of Fuckface's base: the haves and the have-mores.

His wit sometimes entertains me to the pain of ripping down walls with my bare hands.

Here's a thought I had today: isn't this a perfect time for a terrorist attack on our country? We're already pants-down and falling on our faces.

Whatever would we do if something else happened in the next 24-48 hours, or so?

[Raksha]

11. That thought has occurred to me too.

Re >>Here's a thought I had today: isn't this a perfect time for a terrorist attack on our country? We're already pants-down and falling on our faces.<<

Absolutely terrifying!

[im10ashus]

18. I don't even want to imagine another terrorist attack now.

Or any time. This "administration" just can't administrate.

[ultraist]

28. Good point, we have NO PLAN and resources are stretched thin

The mishandling of this disaster gives us some insight into how they'd "handle" a major terrorist attack.

[sundog]

9. he says he doesn't want to hear politicians patting each other on the back

YES! go boy!

[TexasLady]

10. GOOD FOR HIM!!

He expresses ALL of our outrage!!!!

[TomInTib]

12. He's so emotional it seems like he is on the verge of angry tears

slamming Landrieu about politicians patting each other on the back for starting to take action while he is looking at dead bodies in the street being eaten by rats. He is asking WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

13. And Landrieu is a Democrat????? n/t

[TomInTib]

15. She's staying calm for the cameras but does seem to intimate

that once the initial disaster is dealt with, hard questions will be asked - and answered, one hopes.

[sundog]

23. she's a politician

[im10ashus]

24. Yes, she is.

But he wasn't having ANY political posing. It's heartbreaking for even the journalists. We haven't seen this in sometime.

[Lars39]

36. She is a New Democrat.

:blech:

[ultraist]

37. She's a DINO who voted for the bankruptcy bill eom

[ultraist]

14. Go Anderson!

He just told Mary Landrieu that people don't want to hear politician's thanking eachother. People are DYING in the streets.

Go get em Anderson! SPEAK THE TRUTH!

[JaneGat]

16. Go Anderson! That was strong. CNN throws down the gauntlet

[Pacifist Patriot]

20. The sound you heard? That was my lower jaw hitting the keyboard.

[im10ashus]

29. LMAO!

Yes, I HEARD that. Amazing I could here anything with the blood rushing to my head. I was feeling his anger. He just raised the bar about a hundred feet.

[mshasta]

21. he ask the no-no question......

---if the is the offials to be blame for,....

[Gin]

32. Considering how inept FEMA is....if we get hit with a nuke....

it's every man and woman for themselves. Help wil not be on the way.

I know I heard the head of FEMA say (before it made landfall)they had supplies stationed on border states of where the hurricane was headed and relief would be almost immediate once the storm passed. They must have misplaced the supplies. Surely he wouldn't lie!

As usual with this mis-adminstration, watch what they do, and ignore what they say!

[The Traveler]

26. He's done with it.

Totally done with it. Pissed off, hurt, feeling betrayed, feeling outraged. I think this is the first time I can say I am proud of Anderson Coooper.

[im10ashus]

30. Me too.

He has made my fucking day.

[ultraist]

34. I want those politicians to get off their fat asses and go help!

Fire up their private planes, hire some helpers, and get out in the trenches and fucking help. Kerry has swift boat training, where is he?

I'm sick of seeing them slap eachother on the back and do NOTHING.

[The_Casual_Observer]

35. Real question is: If New Orleans attacked Washington would the response

have been quicker.
