Good Weather Ruins Bush Photo-Op - Ditches Storm Relief Trip....
http://www.americablog.com/2008/08/bush-heading-to-texas-to-prep-for.html

What pieces of shit republicans be.


"
ABC News just sent me an email that reports "PRESIDENT BUSH PLANS TO TRAVEL TO TEXAS MONDAY IN REACTION TO HURRICANE GUSTAV; WILL GO TO LOUISIANA WHEN CONDITIONS PERMIT."

Bush wants to show the nation that this time he really, really is ready -- this time. We've seen this before. Several weeks after the Katrina debacle, during Hurricane Rita, Bush went to Texas to show us all that he was in command. But, the Bush team cancelled the photo op because the weather didn't cooperate. Here's my post from September 24, 2005, titled, "Texas Trip cancelled because it was...too sunny":

Interfering with on-going storm preparations wasn't the reason Bush ditched going to San Antonio yesterday. No, that's not why. The reason was a bad visual:

It was too sunny.

Not kidding:

Another White House official involved in preparing Mr. Bush's way noted that with the sun shining so brightly in San Antonio, the images of Mr. Bush from here might not have made it clear to viewers that he was dealing with an approaching storm.

The White House is desperate.

Some things never change. It was all about the photo op for Bush, just like today it's all about the photo op for McCain."
