"For many of
this country’s citizens, the mantra has been, as we were taught in
social studies it should always be, whether or not I voted for this
President, he is still my President. I suspect anybody who had to give
him that benefit of the doubt stopped doing so last week. I suspect,
also, a lot of his supporters, looking ahead to ‘08, are wondering how
they can distance themselves from the two words which will define his
government, our government: New Orleans. For him, it is a shame, in all
senses of the word. A few changes of pronouns in there and he might not
have looked so much like a 21st century Marie Antoinette."
— MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, September 5 Countdown.

"After meeting
with Louisiana officials last week, Reverend Jesse Jackson said, quote,
‘Many black people feel that their race, their property conditions and
their voting patterns have been a factor in the response.’ He continued,
quote, ‘I’m not saying that myself.’ Then I’ll say it: If the majority
of the hardest hit victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans were
white people, they would not have gone for days without food and water,
forcing many to steal for mere survival. Their bodies would not have
been left to float in putrid water. They would have been rescued and
relocated a hell of a lot faster than this, period....The President has
put himself at risk by visiting the troops in Iraq, but didn’t venture
anywhere near the Superdome or the convention center, where thousands of
victims, mostly black and poor, needed to see that he gave a damn."
— Contributor Nancy Giles on CBS’s Sunday Morning, September
4.

CNN’s Jack
Cafferty: "What should Karl Rove do if he is indicted?...He might
want to, he might want to get measured for one of those extra large
orange jump suits, Wolf, because looking at old Karl, I’m not sure that
he’d, they’d be able to zip him into the regular size one."
CNN’s Wolf Blitzer: "Well, he’s actually lost some weight. I
think he’s in pretty good shape."
Cafferty: "Oh, well then, maybe just the regular off the shelf
large would handle it for him."
Blitzer: "Yeah. But, you know, it’s still a big if. It’s still a
big if."
Cafferty: "Oh, I understand. I’m, I’m just hoping, you know. I love,
I love to see those kinds of things happen. It does wonders for me."
— CNN’s The Situation Room, October 17.
