nbanta The NY Time just reported that the people of Taiwan showed disappointment in the government’s response to Typhoon Morakot.
If President Ma Ying-jeou thought he might be treated presidentially on Wednesday as he toured a center for survivors of last weekend’s typhoon, he was mistaken.
The moment he stepped onto a soccer field that has been doubling as a landing pad for rescue helicopters, Mr. Ma was besieged by angry villagers who accused his administration of moving too slowly to help those still trapped in the mountains near here. As the insults rained down, the skies opened and Mr. Ma quickly became drenched to the skin, all of it captured live on television.
