Aircraft sat as California wildfires took hold

Here is a few paragraphs from a CNN article, remember bush was praising a good governor while making fun of Louisiana's governor.

Los Angeles, California As wildfires were charging across Southern California, nearly two dozen water-dropping helicopters and two massive cargo planes sat idly by, grounded by government rules and bureaucracy. How much the aircraft would have helped will never be know, but their inability to provide quick assistance raises troubling questions about California's preparations for a fire season that was widely expected to be among the worst on record.

It took as long as a day for Navy, Marine and California National Guard helicopters to get clearance early this week, in part because state rules require all firefighting choppers to be accompanied by state Forest "fire spotters" who coordinate water or retardant drops. By the time those spotters arrived the powerful Santa Ana winds stroking the fires had made it too dangerous to fly.

In lieu of the republicans splitting their drawers and requiring the Democrats to apologize about their statements. How about sending all our representatives and senators a little note calling for the president to apologize in his off hand slur about the La governor, when these couple of paragraphs show that Arnold wasn't the big shit bush made him out to be.
