More on The Disgusting Performance Of Talking Suit Tim Russert....

On the same program, where Russert tried to embarrass Homeland Secretary Chertoff, the Governor of Mississippi, Haley Barbour had this to say about his experience with the US governments assistance...

Over here, we had the Coast Guard in Monday night. They took 1,700 people off the roofs of houses with guys hanging off of helicopters to get them. They sent us a million meals last night because we'd eaten everything through. Everything hasn't been perfect here, by any stretch of the imagination, Tim. But the federal government has been good partners to us. They've tried hard. Our people have tried hard. Firemen and policemen and emergency medical people, National Guard, highway patrolmen working virtually around the clock, sleeping in their cars when they could sleep. And we've made progress every day.

So, of course this didn't fit Russert's plan to denigrate the US government's response, so his next question completely changes the subject...

MR. RUSSERT: Governor, will you rebuild casinos along the Gulfport, exactly the same locations they were? And is that inviting another disaster if you do?

Can't report on the good work being done, can we Mr. "Empty Suit" Russert? So, lets change the subject!
