[0:03] step down. We'll have the latest on
[0:06] hurricane politics, [music] including a
[0:08] new Bush approval rating out this hour.
[0:10] It's 300 p.m. Central time along the
[0:13] Gulf Coast, making slow progress toward
[0:15] recovery. Flood waters keep going down
[0:18] in New Orleans, and some children are
[0:20] going back to school in Mississippi. And
[0:23] it's 400 p.m. here in Washington where
[0:25] John Roberts has been in the hot seat on
[0:27] Capitol Hill. Are we learning anything

[1:33] 279.
[1:35] Meantime, the flood waters continue to
[1:37] recede with 40% of the city still
