Exactly. Their words will stay with me for a long, long time.

When you want to find transcripts from CNN, go to the home page, scroll to the bottom, click CNN TV, scroll to the bottom of that page, then click Transcripts.

You may draw whatever conclusion from it you wish. If/when I get better evidence, I will present it.

There wasn't a single speck of dirt on them. Pretty weird, especially considering what he was saying to them.

We should warn Tiff - he's heading to USC for graduate school.

I am sorry - I misunderstood you. I thought when you said they farmed them in, you meant from another state or something. They were hurricane victims, but just not from Biloxi - according to what has been reported. I guess I just do not see the big deal between one victim and another. But, to each their own.

BTW - he was in Iraq for that

The unannounced visit to Baghdad to spend part of Thanksgiving Day with U.S. troops. I was unsure if by saying it was a platic turkey you were implying he was not actually in Iraq, which he was. I get that the thing was staged because no politian is not going to stage something like that. Anyway - back to Katrina . . . .

No, I said "plastic turkey thing in Iraq..." I didn't mean he wasn't in Iraq. Anyhoo...

I just caught the end of it - as you've probably already heard, she pledged $1 million, but basically said, "Big deal...those people need water!" She's pissed...Larry told her she should be proud that she had enough $ to be so generous. Again, she said it didn't matter, because her heart was broken, watching mothers w/ their babies, left with nothing. Larry asked her if there was a particular song that came to her mind...she did an acapella version of "The Prayer," a song she had performed a few years ago...was very touching. As dramatic and annoying as she can be, she got to me.

Yay for Celine. I've always been a huge fan.
I was obsessed with her before I was introduced to La Nicks.
Still... for her... one million is like nothing... but I'd be willing to say
that she's one of the few who is giving like that.

Just saw video of Celine on LK. Kudos to her.

Actually, quite a few have. Also, many are working at raising money in addition to giving it. The outpouring of $$$ from celebrities has been pretty amazing IMO.
