You don't find it odd that Ty was able to find all sorts of quotes about the Federal governments screw ups but never saw this picture or heard about the buses. Not to mention the fact that Penske had pointed it out a few hundred times. In addition, don't you find his scepticism of their validity of these pictures a little off the charts. Of course these were not photoshopped. The photoshopped stuff is to parody people. Why would he photo shop a straight photograph trying to make up something that didn't happen. Has he done that before?
Once he was convinced of their validity, why would he defend the fact that these buses were left their to get flooded and critisize the fact that people are focusing on these pictures. Am I the only one sensing a pattern here?

FWIW, the Chronicle (the web site is called "sfgate") doesn't show any articles or pictures if I search various forms of bus, buses, school bus, etc. with New Orleans. I can't get access to the Mercury on-line. I had never seen the pictures in many hours of television viewing.
A broader search found the story reported by the Socialist Worker, the Cuban press, and a few clearly conservative blogs. I understand why you couldn't produce the cite now. I'd been wondering why no one just posted a cite.
