They Should've Waited Longer

As I ponder this post-Katrina world, the one thing that keeps haunting me is that there should've been more of a delay. Not of course a delay in necessary aid arriving to those in need. Even though seeing Geraldo Rivera save an elderly woman causes anyone with a sense of direction to ask themselves, "who's saving who here people?"

But the resolve to wait is directly aimed at the main stream media. As every level of government (except the mayor of New Orleans) is getting pummeled with questions of not acting "expediate enough;" I'm crying out while listening to every single journalist ask the same question over and over again. It's like I'm living in Salem during the witchhunt trials.

I truly think journalists are demented enough to think they are helping? But there has got to be a better time to ask questions about disaster response. It gives me ulcers watching people getting plucked out of the water, looters running off with DVD players and at the same time Soledad O' Brien asking the director of FEMA what is taking him so long.

Shame on you MSM. Ask the right questions at the right time.
