We promote fair and honest political discussion from all sides of the ideological spectrum While my own opinions and my contributors tend toward a more progressive view, that's not always the case. I ask people to comment freely and openly to promote fair discourse.

Bush's America Part 1 Tuesday, September 06, 2005

Cynicus pointed me to this little short.

Rescue 'ticket'

Posted: 6:24 p.m. ET
CNN's Drew Griffin in New Orleans, Louisiana

I am stunned by an interview I conducted with New Orleans Detective Lawrence Dupree. He told me they were trying to rescue people with a helicopter and the people were so poor they were afraid it would cost too much to get a ride and they had no money for a "ticket." Dupree was shaken telling us the story. He just couldn't believe these people were afraid they'd be charged for a rescue.


Response

Yep... we're the richest nation on earth. Yet we've got people who were too poor to run from the hurricane and they were worried they were too poor to be rescued. Yep, more people forgotten in George Bush's America.
