6. bu$h is a self-serving POS! The last thing anyone needs is him in Galveston today.
They have enough to deal with, without having to accommodate him and his security details.

7. I thought the mayor said LEAVE and DON'T COME BACK
for the short term anyway

Bush is going there? Will there by chance be a photographer there?

:eyes:

As Colbert so aptly put it -Bush doesn't just stand for things he stands ON things rubble aircraft carriers etc.

14. Something is wrong
Galveston officials restrict media access

05:42 AM CDT on Tuesday, September 16, 2008

By Rhiannon Meyers / The Daily News

GALVESTON — Mayor Lyda Ann Thomas on Monday ordered all city employees not to talk to news reporters. She did not say when that order would be lifted.

Thomas and City Manager Steve LeBlanc will be the only officials allowed to talk to reporters. City spokeswoman Mary Jo Naschke vehemently denied the city was trying to clamp down on coverage.

She said emergency personnel and city employees were too busy to talk to reporters. Naschke also said the city had been accommodating news reporters by allowing them access to the island when others weren’t allowed, giving them escorted rides to damaged areas and allowing them to move about outside during a curfew.

But at a noon press conference Monday, Thomas and LeBlanc talked for less than 30 minutes and refused to answer more than five questions. Thomas said she would try to hold another conference today.

Daily News reporters who tried to speak to city employees were denied and told no one could talk except for the mayor and city manager.

19. Is gill-netting still legal in Texas?
I thought Alaska was the only place where you could still do that.
