Almost three years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast, Harry Smith of CBS News is still haunted by what he recalls seeing in Gulfport, Miss.

Smith, anchor of The Early Show on CBS, spoke at the Advertising Council of Rochester's annual luncheon Wednesday and pulled few punches when he spoke of what he described as a meager federal response to a massive crisis.

... Smith noted McClellan knocked the U.S. media for a past lack of assertiveness in challenging the president's arguments for war, and said he agreed there hadn't been enough media skepticism.

Recalling a trip to Iraq before the war began in 2003, Smith told the audience: "The regret I'll take to my grave is not standing up and saying, 'What are we doing here?'"

1. "The regret I'll take to my grave." Heartwrenching.

Why don't you donate the rest of your life to helping the Iraqi families whose children you helped send to their graves, Harry? Might ease the pain.

Asshole.

5. Wake up, my a$$. The media's complicitness began

when questions were never really asked about dimson's "surprising, stunning, upset" victory over Gov. Ann Richards of Texas in that '94 or 96 Gubernatorial Campaign.

And I could go on and on and on............but we all know the rest of the story. These people (MSM) allowed this regime to pull one rabbit out of the hat after another. And they knew the results of these hatricks but refused to tell us about them. They should feel haunted - haunted and guilty. They've acted as enablers and they have allowed this administration to get away with MURDER.

And one last thing - while they spent years enabling the *bots and looking the other way, they also found time allow themselves to be used to crucify a President for having extra-marital affairs!
