That’s the story of governors (and mayors). That’s why Christie and Bloomberg were so “on top of” Irene—they’d both been caught out of pocket during a bad snow storm back in late December.

The fires have been flaring for weeks, but yesterday was much worse. Yet because Perry’s running for president (right after being elected as guv) he’s at a ‘town hall’ in SC on Monday morning instead of back at his desk in Austin (or wherever in TX a fire disaster takes him).

What a slime ball you are turning out to be here lately. Every single person in national media I've listened to today has said Perry is smart for returning to Texas. It looks presidential, and he's doing what he was elected to do by the people of Texas. Even the people on MSNBC are saying this.

You have to account for disaster declaration and the mobilization of emergency resources. Perry cannot very well conduct the state's business from S. Carolina. Winds abruptly shifted from the north yesterday at 30+ mph in an epic drought.

Yet, you want Perry to ignore Texas and stay in South Carolina. Or, you wanted him back in Texas earlier. Which is it? Is there anything the man could do to make you happy?

NO.
