Sean Penn Accuses BushOf pulling
the drainage plug from his boat.
Get this part:
Oscar-winning Hollywood actor Sean Penn, who has been assisting rescue efforts in New Orleans, said the US government did not "seem to be inclined to help".
"We were pulling drowning people out of the water, it's the ultimate distress and human suffering ... dead bodies," he told GMTV.Yes, I'm sure there were drowning people in the water for Sean Pennhead to rescue. They've been treading water for six days, and just as they were about to go down for the third time, up shows Spicoli to fish them out of the drink. Obvious question: where's the pix? We know he had his photographer with him. Or is he planning on selling them for a couple hundred grand to the Star?
As an aside, get this in
another article:
"We have advised people that this city has been destroyed," said Deputy Police Superintendent W.J. Riley. "There is nothing here for them and no reason for them to stay, no food, no jobs, nothing."
Nagin said the city had the authority to force residents to evacuate but didn't say if it was taking that step. He did, however, detail one heavy-handed tactic: Water will no longer be handed out to people who refuse to leave.Heavy-handed? For Pete's sake, those idiots need to evacuate!
