If Beverly Hills, California was being flooded (85.1% white)......

I bet GWB would have been MUCH more quick to act. I'm starting to think that good old fashioned racism has something to do with his response. Just thinking at this point, haven't decided that.

1. Everybody would have been evacuated before hand.

2. Not Beverly Hills, no

Are you kidding? With all the Democratic money that comes from that town? No way.

I don't have time to fish for the link on the California Secretary of State website, but Beverely Hills voted 57%-42% for Kerry last year.

6. It would be better...

...if Democrats would not get money from the Hollywood set. A large part of them are decadent rich folks with McMansions and private jet planes. Nobody needs a private jet plane. In any case, Hollywood has been trending Republican lately.

11. Yes, let's just defund democrats...

[Fovea]

10. But any disaster striking

Mission Hills, Kansas, or St. Charles Missouri would certainly be promptly attended to.

Those are **'s Chosen people.

4. A lot of Hollywood celebrities

live in Beverly Hills and most of them are Democrats. I don't think he would have rushed to help.

5. yeah, I'm starting to agree with you. I thought it was racist that they

found it necessary to hand search all the poor blacks who had to find shelter in the superdome (you can bet your ass they wouldnt have handsearched 10,000 rich whites)and got torn to pieces here on DU

9. If it was 10,000 whites ...

... it would have been considered a good self-defense mechanism. Packing heat would have been encouraged.

8. You will notice that Bush talked to Haley Barbour three times ...

... yesterday, but he wouldn't answer desperate pleas from the mayor of New Orleans who was DESPERATE to plug the leaks in the levees and prevent the ENTIRE city from flooding.
