Katrina:
"Last Thursday I was in south Florida and sat outside while the eye of Hurricane Katrina passed over my head. It was only a Category 1 then but it was pretty nasty. Eleven people died and, as of today, there were still homes without power. That night the weatherman said this storm was on its way to New Orleans. That was Thursday! Did anybody tell you? I know you didn't want to interrupt your vacation and I know how you don't like to get bad news. Plus, you had fundraisers to go to and mothers of dead soldiers to ignore and smear. You sure showed her!
I especially like how, the day after the hurricane, instead of flying to Louisiana, you flew to San Diego to party with your business peeps. Don't let people criticize you for this -- after all, the hurricane was over and what the heck could you do, put your finger in the dike?"
Rita:
"Before leaving Washington, Bush bristled when asked if his original plans for San Antonio were made merely so he could be photographed there, and whether his presence might hinder rescue operations. He said he planned an unobtrusive visit to check on preparations.
"We will make sure that my entourage does not get in the way of people doing their job," Bush said." |
