F'ed Up Beyond Belief

The Red Cross is banned from entering New Orleans. Homeland Security tells them their presence would keep people from evacuating and encourage others to come into the city.

The only problem with that? Busses aren't showing up. People are locked in the convention center. Nobody can leave the city. For once I believe what I see on Fox News. Pretty tough to spin *this*, much as Sean Hannity tries:



• Here's something you don't hear on national television every day: "George Bush doesn't care about black people."

• Chicago's Mayor Daley, visibly angry and 'shocked' as feds reject aid.

New Orleans Paper Slams Federal Response on Saturday

UPDATE: Things seem to be improving now, in spite of fire. Less violence and National Guard troops are at the convention center handing out food and water. CNN Video

Yes - helping people is bad. Let's keep the Red Cross out. We wouldn't want to send the wrong message.

That's so crapped up it's unbelievable.

Is the White House going to obstruct the inquiry into this catastrophe as well?
