Dan, was this some kind of revelation or epiphany for you? The one thing that my wife and I have noted while watching the coverage of the Katrina disaster is that the so-called average Americans have been doing the dangerous, the unexpected, the generous, and the heavy lifting all along. It certainly wasn't the Bush administration figures or celebrity visitors.
After 9/11, W may have gotten the spotlight with his little bull horn speech at Ground Zero but it was the working men and women that got the job done. It's no different today in New Orleans, Gulfport or Biloxi.
Please spare us your media criticism. I may be a letter carrier for the USPS but I am capable of seperating the fact from the fiction, the hype from the valid observations, and the apologists from the folks on the ground that get the work done. A great many more Americans are doing the same for themselves.
The fact that I dislike, disagree with and voted against George Bush doesn't make me unpatriotic. People who criticize the administration's efforts aren't treasonous.
Finally, just who are Hollin and Sively? What are their credentials and who are they affiliated with? So far, the "email" or blog merely reads like anecdotal hearsay
