Sigh. Did anyone watch the exchange between Wolf Blitzer & Jack Cafferty on CNN, 2 September, circa 3pm:

Quote:

Jack Cafferty: Do you suppose, Wolf, that the arrival of the relief convoys and the political photo ops on the gulf coast happening at the very same time were a coincidence today?

Wolf Blitzer: Uh, well, we'll, I'm sure our viewers have some thoughts on that as well. These pictures, by the way, Jack, that we're getting in...

Wolf Blitzer: Jack a final thought before I let you go.

Jack Cafferty: It's embarrassing.... [a few beats of "dead air"...]

I heard one of the reasons they called off the evacuation of the hospital was because the flotilla was being fired on. Still doesn't make sense, and I'm sure a lot of them would have still continued, even under fire, if it meant they could help save people.

I loved the interview with the mayor. Hopefully everybody can learn from this and it won't happen next time.
