Chertoff and FEMA coming to San Diego

[Elspeth]

As if we didn't have enough problems. :(

[Virginia Dare]

1. Heckuva job skeletor?...

I guess Halloween is coming early...:-(

[itsrobert]

2. NO!

:scared:

[opihimoimoi]

3. 4 days LATE AGAIN........

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. Ah the radio mess is about to start

long story, but I hope they don't mind getting dispatched by the Red Cross in Tijuana

;-)

And quite brutally honest this is now not a level three disaster (aide from all around the country) but actually it is reaching level four...
due to the level of people evacuated

[Selatius]

5. That depends on if San Diego voted for Dems or Repubs.

Mississippi voted for Rs, and we here in Mississippi got more help than our friends in Louisiana, who voted for Ds, but they've gone and elected an R governor now. Relatively speaking, it wasn't much more help, and it wasn't enough for reconstruction, but it was enough that Haley Barbour wasn't blamed for all the deaths on the Mississippi coast the same way Blanco was blamed.

6. San Diego is solid PUG. I know this White House plays politics with disasters like this

What a mess.

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. Small correction, having lived here all my adult life

the power structure in san diego is solid pug... the city is actually quite progressive

[Elspeth]

10. I stand corrected. But I cringed watching all the pugs kissing Governor D'uh's ass yesterday

on TV.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. Actually I will say that Swartzie is doing a good job as a governmor

regarding the disaster

and mark my words, he just started his run for the Senate in 2010... but

He is doing what a governor has to do in a disaster

I will give him that.

and having worked disasters as a Mexican Red Cross worker... you kiss ass when the feds show up and you need help

You kiss lots of ass


It goes wih the damn territory

[Bluestar]

7. Oh, dear God, I just saw Skeletor on the tv

I'm in the OC, but I used to live in San Diego. I don't believe that we need any Bush interference in our fire problems here. Skeletor, please go away.

[monmouth]

8. Like these poor people don't have enough to deal with....eom

[jojo54]

11. What, so they can leave it worse than it already is,

like N.O.?????

[Elspeth]

12. My fears exactly.......

.........

[billyoc]

13. You'd be safer in the flames. n/t

[LynneSin]

14. I'm waiting for Babs Bush to tour Qualcomm

and proclaim how much better life is now that the evacuees are living in a stadium

[Elspeth]

16. Surely the PR people have her better muzzled by now

I hope

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. Give her some gear and off ot the front lines with her

[Elspeth]

18. Send her to the Witch fire

:)

[Marrah_G]

19. Personally I hope they have learned and I hope they do a good job.

I'd like to see the people get the help they need more then I want to see Bush and co* look like assholes.

[Elspeth]

20. ME too

Thanks for the good thought

[Marrah_G]

21. I'm wishing all of you the very best

I hope everything turns out okay for you and our other SoCal DUers.

[Elspeth]

22. This has just been such a disaster. I have friends out in East County that I am waiting to hear from

And I am watching the Harris fire. All of Chula Vista is under mandatory evacuation
