And as we began to do the evacuations from the Superdome, all of a sudden, literally thousands of other people started showing up in other places, and we were not prepared for that. We were.we were surprised by that." -Michael Brown "If one person criticizes [the local authorities' relief efforts] or says one more thing, including the president of the United States, he will hear from me. One more word about it after this show airs, and I.I might likely have to punch him, literally." -Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) on This Week with George Stephanopoulous "I mean, you have people who don't heed those warnings and then put people at risk as a result of not heeding those warnings. There may be a need to look at tougher penalties on those who decide to ride it out." -Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) "Out of this tragedy, the focus of America is going to be on these victims, and inflamed rhetoric in the United States Senate is just not going to play well now.. If they start going on a vendetta against Roberts in the Senate, it's just going to hurt them. So Judge Roberts can be thankful that a tragedy has brought him some good." -Rev. Pat Robertson "What I'm hearing is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality.

Hilliard, pastor of the New Light Christian Center Church in Houston "We're angry, Mr. President, and we'll be angry long after our beloved city and surrounding parishes have been pumped dry.

That's to the government's shame." -open letter to the president from the New OrleansTimes-Picayune "We have been abandoned by our own country.. Nobody's coming to get us. Nobody's coming to get us.
