I suppose I could do a rant about politics and the federal response to New Orleans, but well, Steve Gilliard already did that.

Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] jmhm for the link.

Via comments in [livejournal.com profile] jmhm's journal, a link to video of Fox reporters in the field. When Sean Hannity said "I want to get some perspective here," Shepard Smith, who had been reporting from the convention center, broke in "THIS IS PERSPECTIVE! That's all the perspective you need!"

And Geraldo Rivera was crying.

There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success .... and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.

John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath, Chapter 25.
