louiseluxChecking americablog this morning and this stopped my heart: Geraldo Rivera and Shepard Smith are reporting that the authorities have locked everyone in the convention center with no escape, and a checkpoint is stopping people from leaving New Orleans.
Oh my god. The video of their Fox news report from inside the Superdome is hosted on crooks and liars - it's harrowing. From what I understand it's also shocking that it's *Geraldo* and on Fox news, too. After the crying and the ranting, the anchor had the gall to say to one of them 'but let's get a perspective on this', to the reply 'this *is* the perspective'.
eta: Guardsmen halt evacuation at Superdome - also leave me pretty much speechless. A funny/terrible quote from someone still in there: "I don't want to go to no Astrodome. I've been domed almost to death."
