If only the Feds were there by day 2. Why none of your links work?

[L_F_Miranda]

Despite the suffering of thousands, despite the huge loss of life, despite the uprooting of thousands families, the only thing the sensationalist press in the U.S. and abroad can print is about the 2% who are looting Circuit City for boom boxes and commiting random acts of violence in a city that was neglected by GEORGE W. BUSH!

By the way W. just took full responsibility for all that happened.

Rossello should learn from him, but maybe that's too much to ask.
