The only good thing about Rita
Bush scheduled to visit Arkansas on Saturday, Rita permitting

FORT SMITH, Ark. Final plans have not been made yet for a visit to Arkansas by President Bush. But Arkansas officials say they want the president to understand the role the state is playing in taking in refugees from Hurricane Katrina.
Initially, the White House and state officials indicated that Bush could visit on Friday or Saturday. U-S Senator Mark Pryor says he spoke with Bush adviser Karl Rove, and Rove cautioned that Hurricane Rita could change or postpone the president's travel plans.

1. KEEP THIS @SSHOLE AWAY!
I don't care where you send him, I could care less if he is in D.C. this weekend or not! But someone, anyone, please keep this man away from these disaster areas to pose for PR. How many airports, recovery efforts, extra police/military are diverted from rescue/recovery operations just so this man can fly in twice a week and gladhand everday citizens who would rather bathe and collect their belongings than prolong their recovery efforts...

Sorry for the incredibly long run-on sentence, rant over!

5. amen, read numerous reports from people who were prevented
from doing important things in new orleans (even as petty as being saved from rooftops) so that clown could drive around and look like he had command of the situation.

3. Pity that Rove has recovered from his kidney stones.
Whatever it takes to mess up Dimson's** life. The people in TX are facing a monster storm, but fearless leader is afraid to go to Arkansas? What a brave piece of work he is.

6. You got that right
For Texas sake I hope this thing falls apart!
For us protesters I hope it fizzels out cause if it's still big Saturday no one will pay any attention to the thousands of people marching on Washington. It might not even be a footnote.
Bush's do over Rita might very well be a huge gift to Karl and Co.
