The linked story is awesome... I never knew about it.
It's got to be reposted, so here it is...

(MONEY Magazine) – BY DR. BILL CASSIDY, 48, BATON ROUGE AS TOLD TO ELLEN MCGIRT
"We had no way to predict what people coming out of New Orleans were going to need. My physician group didn't have emergency preparedness responsibilities, so we made a lot of this stuff up as we went along.
The old K Mart we were to use had been abandoned for about eight years. It was filthy. There was no electricity, no air conditioning and no windows.
We had doctors and nurses step up to design the facility. I asked my friend the insurance guy to be the volunteer coordinator because insurance guys always know everyone. Around 150 people from two churches showed up with mops and brooms to help clean. An electrician got the power up in 24 hours. We created four to five wards holding 30 cots each.
Trucks arrived with $5 million worth of medical supplies, but no packing lists were included. We had I.V. bags but no poles. We had cots but no crash cart. Our volunteers found EKG machines, printers--someone even got a new Honda delivered. Physicians showed up from as far away as Iowa. By the time patients arrived, we had beds, lights, generators, computers and volunteers to play with children, provide transportation and reconnect families.
We saw fatigue, dehydration, emotional trauma and illnesses like diabetes and asthma made worse by the patients' experience. The shelters wouldn't take newborns, so we took mamas and their babies. It was the most amazing thing. We never got the volume we braced for, but we were ready--in 26 hours."

I don't have a dog in yall's hunt so I haven't read everything posted about Cassidy on here but I see quite a lot of posts basically saying he's a goofus, for lack of a better word. Seems to me he has a pretty good arsenal of wit.
I like people like that.

Developing a nervous facial tic because she wasn't up to the task.
That was indeed kind of weird. I seriously wonder what caused that tick. Botox mishap? Nerves related to Katrina?

Meanwhile, while Dr. Cassidy was boots on the ground, in a helicopter circling the city, Miss Piggy is whining about that "poor, lonely little crane (trackhoe) down there".

Mary sure does like putting her foot in her mouth huh

Her campaign is in full retard mode. Is anyone even thinking through these #attacks? A brief read of Cassidy's wiki page shows he was doing good things after Katrina such that this (latest) attack would backfire.

Logistically speaking, thats freaking amazing.
Oh Mary, please keep talking.

Re the DNC cutting her adrift, according to The Advocate this morning, the DNC has pulled the plug on over $1.8 in tv ads that it had planned on funding for her campaign.

I didn't realize this either. Thanks for posting, I didn't want to put in OP for fear of being ignored bc of a wall of text.

That doesn't mean no money will be coming in. It's big news, sure, but OFA and any other number of groups could dump tons of money if they so choose.
