Two weeks since this crisis and finally we are seeing pictures of President Asif Ali Zardari out meeting victims of this flood in Northern Sindh near the hearted town of Sakar, which has been the focus of so much of this rescue effort. Of course, President Zardari has come in for stinging criticism for going ahead with his visit to Europe, to the UK, to meet British Prime Minister David Cameron and to visit his family's French chateau 1 in Normandy while the death toll 2 here spiraled higher and higher and the number of people affected 3 reached into the millions, and now stands of course at 14 million.


 


What's the extradition 4 means, exactly? I don't understand what...


 


An extradition means you can require that the governor of Michigan send an extradition warrant to you, down here to me, requiring your return to Michigan. That takes some time. That takes about three months.


 


Right.


 


You'll be sitting in the Fulton County Jail while that takes place.


 


And why should I wait 90 days, right?


 


Well, that's something for you to decide.


 


I mean, that's the most common sense. It sounds more logical to go right now than waiting 3 months, is that correct?


 


That sounds that way to me.


 


Okay.


 


Yeah. I think you have too much sensitivity ... and not enough sense of humor.


 


So it's OK to say nigger?


 


It depends how it's said.


 


Is it OK to say that word? Is it ever OK to say that word?


 


It's, it depends how it's said. Black guys talking to each other seem to think it's OK.


 


But you're not black. They're not black. My husband is white.


 


Oh, I see. So, a word is restricted to race. Got it. Can't do much about that.


 


I can't believe someone like you is on the radio spewing out the nigger, and I hope everybody heard it.


 


I didn't spew out the nigger word.


 


Right, I said that's what you hear.


 


Everybody heard it.


 


Yes, they did.I hope everybody heard it.


 


I hope everybody heard it.


 


They did, and I'll say it again.


So what makes it OK for you to say the word?


Nigger is what you hear on HB…


Why don't you let me finish a sentence?


29-year-old Gigi Johnson had fallen asleep and that's when her car veered 5 off Adoma Drive, a worker pouring concrete in one of the columns, radioed it in, and a supervisor 6 from PCL Civil Construction rushed to the scene, Darryl Schriner says he grabbed a tool to break windows, known as a center punch from a Tampa police officer and then jumped in the dirty water, swam over to Johnson who had been frantically 7 trying to break the windows with a baseball bat for several minutes, but it's all in vain.


She was really scared, she was trying to break the window from the inside, couldn't get it broken. So, uh, I just want to broke the window and help her get out of the car.
