Campbell Brown is my hero
I'm sitting here watching NBC, listening to her grill New Orleans mayor Nagin over why he did not make better plans for the refugees in the Superdome. She's the only one so far that I've heard call for accountability where it should have started.
While I'm glad the refugees have been rescued from the two "shelters" in New Orleans, I'm disturbed that coverage has slowed. Yesterday afternoon, instead of covering the exodus, the 40,000 people who remain in the city, or the people in Mississippi and other places that still need relief, all I saw was NASCAR and the U.S. Open. What is this? Oh...right. It's Labor Day weekend. The huge moneymaking programs have to go on.
Forgive me if I sound cynical. It's hard not to when I look at what's going on.

Brotherhood. We are all brothers and sisters. Please pass on my love.

OK, now you're scaring me. About an hour ago, I sent Campbell Brown (nbc) an email, thanking her for FINALLY asking some of the questions that have been begging to be asked. Not that she got any answers, but they're the things I've been asking all week.
Anon, we may all be brothers and sisters, but I do not appreciate your spam. I'm about to switch to no anonymous comments.
Susie, you got my e-mail. Campbell Brown rocks.
Mrtl, Tim Russert rocks too. Look later for a transcript of his interview with the Department of Homeland Security Chief.
