[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankly, I don't think Cardin or VanHollen should have been there yet. There is still active flooding and rescue efforts underway, there is nothing elected officials can learn right now from a visit that they can't learn from a briefing, and nothing they can do to help with their physical presence. They should get out of the way and let first responders do their jobs instead of using it as a press op.[/quote]

I was working in Ellicott City all day today. There is NO active flooding going on. Just devastation and destruction everywhere. And a lot of people who are walking around shell shocked in disbelief.

This is exactly the time they need to be seeing and hearing from the people they vote for. Not tomorrow, not next week, and not at a campaign event next month.

Now. [/quote]

There were freaking cadaver dogs in the streets today. Maybe we can at least them find the bodies before some politician steps on one trying to get his photo op.[/quote]

What photo op?

The cops won't even let reporters or camera crews into the town. The politicians could walk up and down Main Street naked and no one would ever see it. There is NO photo op because there is NO media here. They're all being kept outside the town where they can't see anything. It's like a news blackout. [/quote]
