3. An exemplary response to Rita will be a floodlight
Edited on Tue Sep-20-05 10:46 PM by intheflow
exposing the inequity between the two storms. Same timeline on warnings, totally different response. If it hits his home state of Texas and he responds amazingly well, it will highlight the difference even more--as in, he takes care of his own, but not poor people in states with Democratic leadership.
