hey chucklenuts bush...don't fuck with my governor. She has facts to back her up
as the Kansas governor, Kathleen Sebelius, has her requests from last year on paper. What a quick climb down Snow job!!

Sebelius said she would bring up those concerns with President Bush on Wednesday when he visits the hard-hit Kansas farming town of Greensburg, where a tornado hit Friday, claiming nine lives.

Maj. Gen. Tod Bunting, the state's adjutant general, said the Kansas National Guard was equipped to about 40 percent of its necessary levels, down from the 60 percent it had at the start of the war. About 850 soldiers have deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.

"It just leaves you pretty tight," he said. "We're fine for now."

Bunting said Kansas would be asking National Guard units in other states to send specialized soldiers and equipment to help with the recovery.

Randy Noller, spokesman for the National Guard Bureau, said equipment needs have been an ongoing issue since the war began. He said Lt. Gen. H. Steven Blum, chief of the National Guard Bureau, has repeatedly asked Congress for funding to replace equipment being left overseas.

"This is an issue that we've been dealing with for several months," Noller said. "He knows about it and is working to get it fixed."

Sebelius, a Democrat, has written the Pentagon twice and spoke about the issue at great length with Bush in January 2006 when they rode together from Topeka to a lecture in Manhattan.

1. No one is buying CNN's/Fauxnews hamfisted push to blame Kansas
Why would anyone believe anything CNN/Faux has to say anymore. Unlike the majority of the country, CNN/Faux still support Bush.

5. I doubt there is a single governor in all the states that wouldn't side with her.
Bush* has pretty much broken the National Guard and left most states helpless in the face of a disaster whether it be terrorist or Natural
