In an interview with Paula Zahn today, Brown was pointedly asked why he was blaming those still in NOLA. He claimed he *wasn't* blaming them and said he understood that some people couldn't leave. But it wasn't convincing.
Earlier in the interview he claimed the government had no idea people were at the New Orleans convention center until today. Ridiculous. I knew about the center last night, when people thought a rumor accidentally led people to the center. Of course, now we know officials (mistakenly or not) led people there. Zahn about shrieked at him for his stupidity and Brown just got condescending.
Doesn't the Guard or FEMA fly helicopters overhead? Did they just fail to notice a few thousand people gathering in one location?
