IT'S NOT HIS FAULT by DR.T

Well, well, well in case you haven't heard, not "everyone" blames President Bush for evacuation problems experienced in New Orleans. After the President's speech the other night, ABC news was live at the Houston Astrodome, eager to interview evacuees. Reporter Dean Reynolds took four people out of the air conditioned dome to query them on their reactions to the President's speech. Building up on how long these folks had been in Houston, Reynolds asked baited questions, fully expecting wrath upon Mr. Bush. What he got clearly took him off guard; all four people interviewed were optimistic about the President's speech; claiming they believed he would rebuild their city. After interviewing four people and getting the same reactions, Reynolds actually went back to the first person and continued to probe. He asked if she "blamed" anyone and the woman said "Yes, I blame the mayor of our city". Hardly the answer the reporter was hoping for. He finally had to concede to Nightline's Ted Koppel that there was "little skepticism" here over the President's speech.

Whew....How great to see an orchestrated media blitz backfire!
