theweaselkingFrom The Daily Show:
1000 firefighters volunteer to help people in New Orleans - and are instead set up distributing pro-FEMA leaflets to people already out of the danger zone.
EDIT: "as specific orders began arriving to the firefighters in Atlanta, a team of 50 Monday morning quickly was ushered onto a flight headed for Louisiana. The crew's first assignment: to stand beside Bush as he tours devastated areas."
On the topic of FEMA, they did their best to get people to donate money - to Operation Blessing, not the Red Cross. Operation Blessing is Pat Robertson's "charity", whose previous relief efforts include taking money aimed at Rwandan genocide and using it to free oppressed diamonds from Pat Robertson's Rwandan diamond mine, and using funds raised for Liberian peasants to provide relief to Liberian gold from Pat Robertson's Liberian gold mine.
Why cellular phones in Louisiana and Mississippi are down.
Hurricane survivors told to "show us your tits" if they wanted to be rescued - when they refused, they were left behind.
White House press corps kicks the crap out of Scott McClellan.
