Sarandon Speaks About Katrina

Activist and general know-it-all actress Susan Sarandon has stated that the press needs to continue covering the aftermath of Katrina, so that the public can see how money is being spent and how the relief efforts are progressing.

She adds, "Now, at least, we're aware and America is aware about how other Americans have been living. Nobody's been paying any attention to them."

That's true. The press has been paying much more attention to celebrities like Sarandon and their wealthy, glamorous lives. I, for one, vote that the press stop covering things like what gown Sarandon wears to the Golden Globes, reviewing her films and hearing about how she manages to juggle her fabulous career and her family life, and concentrate on the unwashed masses. Real life is far more interesting.

What say you?

(It's interesting how she said "we're aware and America is aware..." It makes it sound as though she doesn't consider herself an American. One of those Freudian slips, I guess!)
