People not even safe yet, but Bush team has plan to Cover Their Asses

New York Times Article: “White House Enacts a Plan to Ease Political Damage”

Under the command of President Bush’s two senior political advisers, the White House rolled out a plan this weekend to contain the political damage from the administration’s response to Hurricane Katrina.
It orchestrated visits by cabinet members to the region, leading up to an extraordinary return visit by Mr. Bush planned for Monday, directed administration officials not to respond to attacks from Democrats on the relief efforts, and sought to move the blame for the slow response to Louisiana state officials, according to Republicans familiar with the White House plan.
The effort is being directed by Mr. Bush’s chief political adviser, Karl Rove, and his communications director, Dan Bartlett. It began late last week after Congressional Republicans called White House officials to register alarm about what they saw as a feeble response by Mr. Bush to the hurricane, according to Republican Congressional aides.

I’m thinking Senator Landrieu must be very tired right now, because she’s been awake for 7 days. So I’d like to personally volunteer to punch ANYONE she would like me to. I’m not kidding, Mary, I’ll do it for you. I’ll haul off and hit anyone you want me to hit. Name the guy!!
