Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I nipped this from a blog entry. URL at end. Alobar Brian Williams of NBC Nightly News has really bonded with the city of New Orleans. Riding out Katrina in Da Dome will do that even to a network news anchor, i suppose. His blog entry for today talks about local reaction to Smirky's speech last night: Sept. 16, 2005 | 9:42 a.m. EDT Friday morning (power) line I am duty-bound to report the talk of the New Orleans warehouse district last night: there was rejoicing well, there would have been without the curfew, but the few people I saw on the streets were excited) when the power came back on for blocks on end. Kevin Tibbles was positively jubilant on the live update edition of Nightly News that we fed to the West Coast. The mini-mart, long ago cleaned out by looters, was nonetheless bathed in light, including the empty, roped-off gas pumps. The motorcade route through the district was partially lit no more than 30 minutes before POTUS drove through. And yet last night, no more than an hour after the President departed, the lights went out. The entire area was plunged into total darkness again, to audible groans. It's enough to make some of the folks here who witnessed it... jump to certain conclusions. OK, there are a number of reasons why power would click on and then off again, but given the photo-op presidency of this piece of crap, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that the power-up was temporary to provide a backdrop for the speech. http://www.yatpundit.com/2005/09/brian_williams_tells_the_truth.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
