Now that the hysteria has calmed after the storm.....
It's important that everyone read this, straight out of the Times-Picayune; especially those armchair first responders who wanted to point blame when all the facts were not yet in; and those idiot reporters who are slapping themselves on the back over such excellent news coverage and journalistic integrity because, God, we know they had no part in adding to the mass hysteria but were just calling it like they saw it.
Wonder if all those foreign countries who snickered at us under their breaths will now point and laugh at us over this; or, if they will curse and mutter out loud that they donated so much of their money in relief aid, feeling tricked now that we know the body count was highly exaggerated, and is not going to number in the 10,000 deaths-range.
Hat tip to The Dennis Prager Show.
[Update] Barbra Streisand noses in. Go to Gateway Pundit.
[Update II] More aftermath news from Ex-Donkey on MIA special forces dolphins.

You know what I am waiting for...the reports of how many looters were shot in NO. I'm from NO - I live in FL, but all my Mom N Nem live in NO. What is being said is that more looters were shot than what has been reported. I hope this is urban legend. But what if the number of looters shot is higher than what has been reported? Plus, the looting has not been reported to its full scope. Out in Jefferson Parish near the lake where my family lives, stores were ravaged, especially Pharmacies. Jeff Parish ain't NO. My Parish has crime, but it's a suburb that rarely sees this kind of thing. I want the news to cover that! Great Blog - great post!
