An example of bias at CNN?

Is it just me, or does anyone else think this is misleading?

Senator questions some New Orleans Katrina aid requests

City asked for computers, police cruisers


Sen. Joe Lieberman listens to testimony about FEMA's response to Hurricane Katrina.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A senator leading an investigation into the government's response to Hurricane Katrina questioned whether post-storm requests by New Orleans city officials for golf carts, air conditioners and travel assistance were necessary.

Documents released Thursday by Republican aides to a Senate committee show that New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin's administration also asked for hundreds of laptop computers, patrol cars, handcuffs and guns for police. The flooded city was ransacked by some looting after the August 29 storm, and many of its police cars and other vehicles and equipment were destroyed.

Now, looking at this, wouldn'y you assume that Sen Lieberman was the one questions the need to replace computers and police cruisers swept away in the the storm? But, no. The heartless inquisitor is Republican Sen Susan Collins. "Are these typical of the requests that you would expect to get from state and local governments to FEMA in the aftermath of a disaster?" she asks.

Yes, Sen Collins: when everything is destroyed, then everything tends to have to be replaced.

1. First issue is the picture of Ol' Censoring Joe the Embarassment!

I almost wretched. Now, Susan Collins. . .considering NOLA was leveled, there is nothing left. The state asked FEMA to help, and FEMA has sat on its hands jerking itself off.

Fuck you, Susan Collins.
