You Can't Make This Stuff Up ...

[JABBS]

President Bush was supposed to land (in San Antonio) on Friday afternoon on the first stop of a tour intended to make clear that he was personally overseeing the federal government's preparations for Hurricane Rita's landfall. But the weather did not cooperate.

It was too sunny.

In a White House that likes to choreograph the president's appearances days or weeks ahead, it was a reminder that the newest strategy -- to put Mr. Bush close to the center of the action -- had its risks.

Another White House official involved in preparing Mr. Bush's way noted that with the sun shining so brightly in San Antonio, the images of Mr. Bush from here might not have made it clear to viewers that he was dealing with an approaching storm.
