This is INSANITY! If some rich famous somebody had been trapped in there the feds would have been in there faster than Rush Limbaugh at a free eats.
There is NO excuse. Someone said someone shot at a helicopter. So what? We have chopper drops in places where they're shooting SAMs!
No, something else is more important to the administration than it's citizens. Bush was on tv and talked more about the price of gas and what he's going to do to the reserves than about helping his own people!
There's slow, and then there's incompetence and then there's just downright hatefulness and stupidity.
Just think what the rest of America is thinking:
"Oh, if some shit happens I CANNOT depend on my own government to respond fast enough to save my ass!"
When the people are not the priority, it ain't American.

Who knows whether it has anything to do with the state or those who live there - hindsight and some facts not yet available will tell on that.
The sad shit is the "progress" is lacking. To claim 70 coaches have been removed people from the area today is a fucking joke.
I thought even before Katrina hit, this was going to be serious and stuff and the dome in New Orlean's would end up a death camp. Let's hope not, but its' going that way.
Obviously the first aim is to get folks outta there - but they can't. So, what's happened with the second best thing - get em food an water dropped in? Maybe next week?
People supposedly better informed (FEMA Duh?) obviously can't calculate the extent of the possible damage - the New Orlean's problem was known for years. Bush.. he knows fuck all and ain't even competent in the first instance - don't expect any help from there.
It's not looking good - it's now (tonight!) help is needed. Tho the problem/damage is severe, this is sad shit for a civilized country.
