In an “open letter” to the president, published on page 15 of the 16-page edition, the paper said it still had grounds for “skepticism” that he would follow through on saving the city and its residents. It pointed out that while the government could not get supplies to the city numerous TV reporters, singer Harry Connick and Times-Picayune staffers managed to find a way in.
It also cited “bald-faced” lies by Michael Brown. “Those who should have been deploying troops were singing a sad song about how our city was impossible to reach,” the staffers pointed out. “We’re angry, Mr. President, and we’ll be angry long after our beloved city and surrounding parishes have been pumped dry.”
My questions:
1. Will the Big Media gaggle ask Scotty McClellan about this in the Sept. 6 press briefing?
2. Will any of the Big Media call BushCo officials on the carpet on next Sunday’s talk show gaggle?
3. Will Big Media, or an outraged public, push Bush for an official apology?
4. And will a BushCo operative, for the first time in this administration — namely, Michael Brrown — get fired for incompetence?
