Exactly. Something no one expected was handled a milltion times better than something a) people have been saying for years would happen, b) which has a history based on geography of this type of event happening (at different levels of course) and c) then just the recent notice before the hurricane hit.
The response between the two is staggering. And to think this one happened after the other ... again, at the risk of repeating, the only difference is emergency services organized before and after Bush took over.
Let the conservative knights of the GOP come running in now and tell me what a wonderful job Dubya is doing. As Melody said the other day, Nero fiddled, Bush strummed the guitar in Texas.
