Atrios makes
good point, based on
this story. Guess which governor is the Democrat, and which one is the Republican.
Bush with Blanco, Louisiana governor:
[Blanco] says that two days after Katrina, desperate for help, she couldn't get through to Bush and didn't get a callback; hours later, she tried again, and they talked.
Bush with Barbour, Mississippi governor:
Barbour hasn't had to wait hours to talk to Bush. In fact, Barbour said in an interview with USA TODAY, the president called him three to four times in the wake of Katrina. "I never called him. He always called me," he said.
Surprise! Blanco is a Democrat and Barbour is a Republican (and former head of the RNC).
More evidence that for Bush and his Republican pals, the elephant flies above the Stars and Stripes.
