If you ever want to see the difference in how a Republican governor handles a major disaster compared to a Democrat, look at the response from Mississippi and Florida to hurricanes Katrina and Rita. And if you want to see how a Republican handles "nonsense" about lack of resources, just watch our Governator in action.
"Trust me when I tell you, you're looking for a mistake, and you won't find it, because it's all good news. As much as you maybe hate it, but it's good news. Trust me, okay?"
Of course, the fire danger is not over yet, especially for those places still burning. The good news is that containment numbers are no longer going to be "0 %" since the winds have died down. However, look for the media to descend like vultures on anyone complaining about how slow their FEMA check is coming, or evil insurance companies not honoring policies. Anything that might be "bad news."
Yeah, but did you see the look on her face when he grabbed her hand?

ReplyDeleteHeh. Maybe there was something to all that "muscular" groping stuff during his campaign...
Either that, or Claire finally realized she was talking to the Terminator: "Come with me, if you want to live!"
The funny thing was that I didn’t catch any of the national or cable coverage until maybe Wednesday-and only because Shamrock alluded to it and then other folks mentioned it via the Katrina drinking game. Once I started watching I was shocked at the politicizing of the event-shouldn’t have been, but was-Iraq, global warming, National Guard, etc. I also got a call from a friend in Houston Thursday who was checking in but also a bit snarky because of the media hype praising and contrasting CA’s response to the hurricane responses in the Gulf Coast-and she isn’t the catty type.
ReplyDeleteWhat’s the old saying-a bear cant fart at the north pole without it causing a big wind in Brazil? I guess there’s a new one-You cant have a natural disaster without it being the fault of Bush, Haliburton, Cheney, Iraq, illegal aliens, or global warming.
