Looks like Bush might cancel his speech at the Republican convention on Monday because of this.Did he not pay attention to the last hurricane that hit a major city or something?
i'm going to button down the hatches tomorrow. you guys are going to be without 8 for a few days. good news? i picked up 4 bottles of red wine, 3 cases of beer and some milk for the kids so i'll be alright. i also have a generator and some fans to help blow the air around....'
...special needs evacuation is referring to those without vehicles. Jindal made a great call picking up everyone and busing them out of New Orleans.
...the real losers of this other than the people are the saints. No one cares about football when your life or family is in danger. Imagine trying to tip toe around a season opening game at home a week from today. This might be the final nail in the coffin for moving the saints to los angeles.
Good luck evacuating 2 million people the next time a hurricane "might" hit new orleans. I loved how the TV coverage last night had one hour specials on Gustav and spent 50 minutes of the 60 showing clips from Katrina. Fuck I couldn't tell if the town was drowning again or if everything was fine.
I bet Bush secretly wishes Gustav was a bigger storm so he could have a do over.He was actually prepared to pay attention to the news this weekend and everything.

Truth.
I think Bush and the media hoped for a bigger deal, but particularly the former. Too anti-climatic for both entities. I also think both are praying for another big one in the near future.
