Re: Katrina

This is the slickest group at evading questions that I have ever seen.

I just read yesterday where Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage where ranting
and raving that the "liberal media" were hyping Katrina and that people were
being scared for no reason and that it was not going to be that big of a
storm. I wonder how many people bought their BS and stayed. Wonder what
the drug addict Rush thinks now? Still hype by the liberal media? Oh, by
the way, what liberal media? Who exactly owns it?
