[0:01] >> George Clooney's [music] marriage
[0:02] confession next ET.
[0:06] >> The flood water is finally beginning to
[0:08] recede, but New Orleans, a city of a
[0:11] half million, is a ghost town tonight.
[0:13] And the mayor says [music] the death
[0:15] toll could number 10,000, maybe more.
[0:18] And there is another big story tonight.
[0:20] President Bush says [music] he will
[0:22] nominate John Roberts to succeed Chief
[0:24] Justice William Rinquist on the [music]
[0:26] Supreme Court and name someone else
[0:29] later to replace retiring Justice Sandra
[0:32] Dean. Good evening, I'm Bob Chaffer. We
[0:35] begin again tonight in New Orleans where

[1:14] really knows how many have died. If the
[1:16] mayor is right when he says 10,000, that
[1:19] will be more than three times the death
[1:22] toll on 911. President Bush went back to
[1:25] the area today, but there is so little
[1:27] coordination and so much friction
[1:29] between national and local officials
[1:31] that the governor's office learned of
[1:33] the president's itinerary from a news
[1:36] reporter. We start with John Roberts in
[1:38] New Orleans. John,
[1:40] >> good evening. Bob, it's now one
