4. Shame you couldn't see our BBC TV News tonight

here in the UK. Their own reporter in the USA came right out and said words to the effect "the American public will never forgive the Republicans for what happened during and after Katrina" He also mentioned Bu sh doing no more than a flyover back then.

everything about our current gov't is a shame.

[malaise]

9. BBC was great
