Man, that was a sweet job, and we reported with glee
I agree mostly with this assessment of the disaster visited upon the U.S. Gulf Coast and the people living there. The scale of the problem is huge and though I am sure that there have been failings there is no doubt that there have also been successes. No response to a problem on this scale is going to be perfect but the glee with which some reporters have been larging up the inevitable problems smacks of some kind of, oh I don't know, personal vendetta.
That one reporter, I forget his name in the same way I forget the names of various other idiots, who spent a total of three hours in three different visits with people in a stadium without seeing any official except soldiers and police got right up my nose. There is a man who thinks the scale of the disaster is limited to his own personal area of influence.
Moaners, the lot of them, trying to engineer the best possible outcome from a disaster that doesn't affect them. By that I mean anything that looks bad for the enemy president.
