From "The Daily Show":
Ed Helms: "Jon, today, finally, a ray of hope. Eight days after Katrina came ashore, the federal government has gotten its act together, marshalling all of its resources in a desperate effort to save this beloved, and now beleaguered, president."
Stewart: "President? I thought you were talking about New Orleans."
Helms: "No, that place is [expletive]. But many here believe with quick action, George W. Bush's reputation can still be saved. . . .
"The main thing is, in a very reassuring sight, the federal government has finally brought in the heavy machinery: The Rove.
"Many believe he's the one man who can fix the gaping breach in the president's approval ratings."

>>Pursuant to 44 CFR § 206.35, I have determined that this incident is of such severity and magnitude that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the State and affected local governments, and that supplementary Federal assistance is necessary to save lives, protect property, public health, and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a disaster.

>Well, let's wait and see what the investigation deteremines - if anything. I'll be surprised if it does.
