...because the Bush Administration has a nice shiny NEW hurricane about to hit not just a RED state, but the oil capital of America, and the Preznit's home state to boot. And you can betcher life that no sirreee, they ain't gonna drop the ball on this one:
Authorities in Texas and Louisiana today are working to get thousands of residents out of the path of Hurricane Rita as the powerful, Category 4 storm picks up strength in the Gulf of Mexico. The military also is redeploying troops and ships in the area -- including many that were helping with Hurricane Katrina recovery -- out of Rita's path and into position to respond quickly.
So if the people of New Orleans had any thought that they might be able to go back home ever again and reclaim what little might have survived Katrina, fuhgeddaboudit. The Bushistas have bigger fish to fry in states that reliably vote for them.
As a side note, VOLUNTARY evacuations have been ordered from Corpus Christi to Port Arthur by Texas Gov. Rick Perry. Hmmmmm....I wonder if he'll take any heat for those who don't leave.
And Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco is taking no chances. She's asked C-Plus Nero to declare a state of emergency in Louisiana. I wonder if she'll get it.
