... but somehow I can't imagine that if Katrina had hit, let's say, Martha's Vineyard, we would have watched a week of TV footage of Auchinclosses and Winthrops standing on their roofs, waving their jewels around in the air to attract some help.

The biggest mistake these idiots made was their obvious assumption that if the victims were poor and/or black, the rest of the country wouldn't be all that interested in what happened to them.

Again, BU$HCO jumps to the WRONG conclusion ...
