New Orleans Times-Picayune: Bush visit halts food delivery---

Three tons of food ready for delivery by air to refugees in St. Bernard Parish and on Algiers Point sat on the Crescent City Connection bridge Friday afternoon as air traffic was halted because of President Bush’s visit to New Orleans, officials said.

The provisions, secured by U.S. Rep. Charlie Melancon, D-Napoleonville, and state Agriculture Commissioner Bob Odom, baked in the afternoon sun as Bush surveyed damage across southeast Louisiana five days after Katrina made landfall as a Category 4 storm, said Melancon’s chief of staff, Casey O’Shea.

“We had arrangements to airlift food by helicopter to these folks, and now the food is sitting in trucks because they won’t let helicopters fly,” O’Shea said Friday afternoon.

The food was expected to be in the hands of storm survivors after the president left the devastated region Friday night, he said.

Over at the Huff Puff, they are making a big deal out of this, with the headline "Bush’s Visit Stopped Three Tons Of Food From Being Delivered To Starving New Orleans".

Of course, if the President had decided not to visit the disaster areas, they would have been screaming that he doesn't care about people! He doesn't care about poor black people! (as if they are the only ones hurt by the whole thing).

Oh, wait, they're shrieking anyway. What's a man to do?
