CNN is really hammering how f'ed up the response has been and asking good questions.... at least Cafferty is. "What role did race and class play in the Crisis"? I've been asking this myself.... and i say A LOT.

Laura Bush has just been asked that (actually, what impression would world get seeng that virtually all of late evacuees are black) on CNN (from Cajundome in Lafayette). She more or less pretended not to understand. When pressed, she mumbled something about poorest people always taking hardest hit.

Edit: Dubya was next. All he said, grinning as usual, was that there are thousands of soldiers trained as military police coming to N.O. At least the general leading the Katrina joint task force sounded as if he knew his priorities.
