(January 29, 2007)--A heckler couldn't get the best of Senator Joe Lieberman at a hearing Monday morning in New Orleans on the government's response to Hurricane Katrina.
Lieberman and other members of a Senate panel are in New Orleans for the hearing.
Right at the start, a man began yelling "Stand up for justice!"
He was finally led out of the building.
Lieberman, who'd been opening the hearing, took it in stride.
He says it's hard to come back to the Crescent City more than a year after the storm "without feeling that emotion."
Mayor Ray Nagin and other federal, state and local officials are testifying at the hearing, at which Senator Barack Obama is also on the panel.
In prepared remarks, the potential White House candidate questions whether the feds are doing their share to help New Orleans rebuild.
Later Monday the panel members will take a bus tour of devastated areas of the city.
