News from Sumatra.
Per MSNBC Brian Williams report moments ago. 1/3 of the population dead or missing from the area he is visiting, one of the hardest places to get to. Many have had little food or water for 9 days. But NBC is there to "report", and the Jebbie sightseeing trip will be there tomorrow.

I would think that space on that plane better used with bottled water than with *shrubs.

1. I hear Jeb can't wait.
The Bush family love to watch poor people suffer.

2. As both a hurricane victim and a former
relief worker, this is one of my pet peeves. Politicians and celebrities should stay the hell away from disaster zones. They interfere with distribution channels, utilize needed resources and basically muck things up in their wake. I sort of feel that way about reporters too, but understand they fulfill something of a function where the politicians and celebrities don't. If you're not part of the relief effort, stay home!
