CNN: Timing of Relief Convoys a Political Stunt

September 2nd, 2005 7:34 PM

Today during CNN's "Situation Room," anchor Jack Cafferty suspected the Bush administration had turned the timing of the help sent to New Orleans into a political stunt.

CAFFERTY: Do you suppose, Wolf, that the arrival of the relief convoys and the political photo ops on the Gulf Coast happening at the very same time were a coincidence today?
BLITZER: Well, I'm sure our viewers have some thoughts on that as well.

Later Blitzer said, "Jack, a final thought before I let you go." Responded Cafferty, "It's embarrassing."
