Confused about Cheney's Texas babble - he was having an
on air orgasm discussing the Texas storm planning - saw simulations showing what would happen if a bit one came in, models of flooding, etc. Wasn't there a CD of a simulation of a Cat 4/5 hitting NO well prior to the storm? In fact, it was ignored by FEMA and they acted surprised it was so bad (duh!) If so, why was big dick not challenged...what's so special about the Texas demo??? I know...I am trying to use logic and look for meaning from someone incapable of either.

1. Why, oh why, couldn't it have hit Houston? Would the planning have
been better if a cat 5 hurricane were headed straight for the red heart of the red states?

I don't think so. Bush is too incompetent to even protect his own.
