I was going to say the same thing. I wouldn't be surprised to see this on FoxNews but any of the other networks, YES, I am surprised.

I was just telling someone about this and she told me about the mayor leaving town. Did you hear that right after the catastrophe started, Mayor Nagen left NO with his family and went to Dallas to buy a house and enroll his daughter in school. He didn't come back until Bush came to tour the area. I have not confirmed this but can anyone else.

Edit: just saw a video clip on FoxNews reporting on it. Said he left on Wed. and didn't return until Bush got there on Fri.

In the end it will be the mayor of NO and the governor of LA whose asses are in a sling over this- NOT President Bush. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

And apparently the Mayor is already getting moved out of there.

If you put the hair back on that congressman, take away the favorable studio lighting and hand him a crate of Heineken . . .

Seriously, they could be brothers.

Of course, why would the media want to pick up on this? It would divert attention away from W. That's the last thing they would want to do... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Oh they might pick it up if W. is getting good press If he does, this could be the top story of the day.
