I am watching Geraldo doing a live report from a Manhattan street corner. He is wearing his SPECIAL HURRICANE COVERAGE rain gear. Sadly, it is raining on Geraldo. I hope he survives this death storm so that he can report on the looting tomorrow night during the power outages.
I suspect that Gulf Coast residents are watching this with the same sense of bemusement that California residents were watching the earthquake coverage last week.
I sorta feel sorry for the President. This just looks silly. He can't catch a break. He needs to fire his image handlers.

I told ya, just a buncha big city p*ssy whining about a windy rainstorm.
It's 2:00 AM early Sunday morning here in NYC.
The power is still on and the Internet remains connected, praise Jebus. It's obviously raining hard, with the occasional wind gust. Doesn't sound like 100 mph to me though. Maybe half that, at best.
I agree Lou, I suspect that people who have lived through a real hurricane are laughing in disgust at the coverage. As I am watching it this morning all the networks are trying their best to turn this into hell on earth, but the worst thing I have seen so far is a partially flodded parking lot and a sewer clogged with garbage.
With regard to the zero, he has needed to fire his handlers since the blunder toasting the queen of england. I have never seen anyone made to look like such a dunce by his own people.
I am watching the Fox coverage of the hellstorm this morning because Juliet Huddy has great legs.
Fox does do the best job of picking their staff...and they don't paint them some un-natural unicolor...which gives me the creeps on CNN.
B will be reported as preventing the storm from being a Cat 5 and saving millions of lives by MSNBC this afernoon.
What is it with these whiny East Coasters? During Hurricane Katrina, I worked with a guy who had lived on the East coast for several years. He made the comment to another co-worker, "these guys should see a Noreaster!". This was in response to another co-worker and I talking about the impending Hurricane Katrina. WTF? We're watching a Cat 5 ready to make landfall and this was about a noreaster vs. A cat 5 hurricane?
Speaking as an East Coaster I apologize that 23 dead in Virginia alone and a mere 7 billion dollars in damage is not enough to come up to the standards of the Hurricane snobs.
I'm so disappointed. I wound up not even getting one day off.
Yes, anon, trees fall on people in high wind. And people drown driving in low-lying areas. That sucks.
However the telling feature of this storm was that reporters were giving you live coverage during the storm. From outside. When you have to point out the damage, and not just pan around like you could have done after Andrew, it means it wasn't squat.
Anon, don't forget the earthquake snobs.
The deaths were horrible.
The deaths were horrible.
I should hope people feel that way. There were 45 in total making it the 4th worst hurricane since 1980. But hey! East Coasters are just big city pussies whining about a little windy rainstorm, right?
Goodness, there is a great deal of effective data in this post!
