First, you are the first I have seen of any reporting of Laura Bush calling the hurricane Corrina. However, if she did, it would certainly not be any big woo or proof of any kind that she is "stupid"- maybe tired, because she and her husband have been working tirelessly to help, traveling back and forth. I just got this e-mail, and it brings up some good points- like where are the people who make these kinds of snipes and why aren't they doing anything positive to help:
Katrina's Aftermath
David Millican is a retired preacher here in McComb, Miss.
To my friends and family:
WHAT I HAVE SEEN SINCE KATRINA:
The poor and the wealthy hurt by the storm, Black, white, Hispanic, oriental and Indian all hurt by the storm.
Christian people giving, giving, giving.
Churches going all out to minister in Jesus' name Neighbors going door to door helping one another Thugs and hoodlums going door to door looking for someone vulnerable.
Ice and water being fought over as police tried to keep the peace.
People coming up from New Orleans taking over empty houses because shelters are full.
Out of town volunteers coming with food and staying for now a week still serving it.
The Churches all over this part of the country doing what Christians do in a crisis.
Fema doing a wonderful job in getting help to us The red Cross doing a great job in the shelters.
The Salvation Army doing a great job in the community.
Four Hundred crewman from everywhere bring back the power to our homes, churches and businesses.
Lines at service stations a block to a mile long.
National Guardsman patrolling the streets of Mccomb along with Kentucky policemen protecting us from the hoodlums and thugs of McComb, Pike County and New Orleans (the most dangerous city in the world before Katrina).
Drug dealers working outside shelters.
Doctors, nurses and other hospital personnel working tirelessly, even sleeping in the hospital to do the job God called them to do.
WHAT I HAVE NOT SEEN:
The ACLU setting up a feeding line. People for the American Way helping in the shelters The NAACP doing any work whatsoever The American Atheist organization serving meals in the shelters. Jesse Jackson directing traffic at the gas stations
I could go on but you get my message. Its the Christian people with love and compassion who do the work. The gripers in Congress should come on down and get in line to pass the water and the ice.
Are you listening Hillary, Chuck, Teddy and all the sorry loafers we call Senators and Congressmen? They don't have a clue as to what this life is all about here on the gulf coast.
Boy I feel better now.
David A. Millican
And you can have Hillary. I'll take Laura any old day in a crisis. I'm sure Theresa Kerry would also be a huge help in a crisis, too- you can have both her and Hillary! Oh, and if you want to see stupid- when there was a storm in the Caribbean, Theresa Kerry made the conveniently-forgotten remark that she didn't agree with what the relief agencies were sending, and that they shouldn't be sending clothing- the people "could go naked for awhile." Of course she could have outfitted the whole island from Neiman Marcus with the electric bill money from just ONE of her houses!
