A thousand firefighters from around the country volunteered to serve in the Katrina devastation areas. But when they arrived in Atlanta to be shipped out to various disaster zones in the region, they found out that they were going to be used as FEMA community relations specialists. And they were to spend a day in Atltanta getting training on community relations, sexual harassment awareness, et al. This of course while life and death situations were still the order of the day along a whole stretch of the Gulf Coast.
As specific orders began arriving to the firefighters in Atlanta, a team of 50 Monday morning quickly was ushered onto a flight headed for Louisiana. The crew's first assignment: to stand beside President Bush as he tours devastated areas.
Bush is so thoroughly a PR vessel that he can't even tour a disaster zone without his human backdrop. Everything is political. Everything.
my controversial book about a day in my life as Public Defender in the South Bronx is finally available for Kindle and Ipad.
