Thank You Keith Olbermann….Now where in the hell is Anderson Cooper?
On Monday, February 8, 2010, Keith Olbermann, on his TV program COUNTDOWN,named the US Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD, for their disgraceful handling of the natural disaster on the South Dakota Sioux Reservations.
From this admirer of the Native American peoples, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your concern and interest.
Now where in the hell is Anderson Cooper? He must like his warm weather disasters better than American disasters.

THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD
COUNTDOWN MONDAY, 02-08-2010
“”But our winners, the United States Senate Committee on Indian Affairs. Where are you guys? Three major Native American reservations in South Dakota, particularly the Cheyenne River Reservation, have been buried under snow and ice with major power failures for two weeks. Power lines down, thousands of other Lakota and other tribes people who already face 75 to 85 percent unemployment before a blizzard, and an ice storm that added six inches of ice weight to utility poles hit—two weeks since those lines were knocked down and most of the electricity went with it. They managed to get the water turned back on at Cheyenne River. Unfortunately, most of the water goes into a pipe system that failed during the storm. The pipes are broken.
With the wind chill, it was minus 19 there today. What will you find out about this at the website of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs? Some means of donating to the affected tribes? Means of underwriting the energy companies now distributing propane tanks by hand? An emergency hearing on the crisis there? Nothing. There is a committee meeting Thursday to discuss regular business. The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, AWOL, today‘s worst persons in the world.”
