FEMA Doesn't Watch TV

Just when you think nothing about your government will ever again astonish or disappoint you, along comes FEMA.

In an interview with Paula Zahn yesterday, FEMA Director Michael Brown revealed that FEMA had no idea that there were thousands of desperate and hungry people at the New Orleans Convention Center.

FEMA only found out Thursday.

Thursday, that's Day #4 of destitution, hunger and abandonment for all those sad and angry faces the world has been watching all week on 24/7 cable news channels.

ZAHN: Sir, you aren't just telling me you just learned that the folks at the Convention Center didn't have food and water until today, are you? You had no idea they were completely cut off?

BROWN: Paula, the federal government did not even know about the Convention Center people until today.
