Media Matters - KSFO's Rodgers accused Katrina victims of "sniveling," "whining," riding "gravy train": "On the August 29 broadcast of San Francisco radio station KSFO's The Lee Rodgers & Melanie Morgan Program, co-host Lee Rodgers said: 'Today, we are limiting ourselves greatly when it comes to taking part in this sentimental orgy about New Orleans on the second anniversary of [Hurricane] Katrina,' adding: 'They built a city in a swamp that's below sea level. Get over it.' Rodgers also asserted: 'I for one -- now, I'm all in favor of helping needy people, but at what point do you say, 'Hey, it's time that you people got off your asses went to work and earned your own way'? ' He went on to say: 'Two years later, the people who have been freeloading for two years are whining because the gravy train is slowing down,' and added: 'At what point after a disaster and personal hardship are people expected to start taking care of themselves again? Is one hurricane supposed to be a permanent lifelong ticket on a bleeping gravy train? Come on!'"
