Right lower corner.

Reporter ripping FAA a new one "WHAT are they trying to hide??".
Asking other news stations in the state to demand access. "It's OUR coast that was destroyed, the people have a right to see what has happened. officials don't even seem to know WHERE Boliver IS. Why has this problem not been fixed?"
-------------
Nick Lampson now on...state FEMA office calling local leaders made too late (today). Saying the phone calls should have been done sooner. 'Why have they not learned from their mistakes?"

When this corrupt administration exercises its usual arbitrary covering up of its incompetence, it's a much different story in South Texas than it ever was when the subject was black people in New Orleans, or brown people hassled at the airport, or poor people dying by the truckload in Iraq or Afghanistan.

We've been trying to notify you for years that this fucking bunch of incompetent thieves are a . . . well, a fucking bunch of incompetent thieves. They've just killed another city through their negligence, malfeasance and intentional incompetence. This time, though, it seems that it was a city you dumbasses actually cared about. It was sort of inevitable, really.
