Hot on the heels of the Hurricane Katrina findings, Texas Governor Rick Perry has decided that he'll release how badly they screwed up the evacuation of Houston so that it would be overshadowed by the Katrina findings. Or at least that's the reason that we think he did so.
As you may recall, 63 people died of heat exhaustion, heart attacks and being blown up on a bus on their way to more centrally located and northern cities. Our own brother sat on the highway for some 20+ hours just to get up to Dallas and away from the then-projected category 5 hurricane.
"The process could have been smoother," Gov. Perry said. "This report will improve planning and coordination, which will result in more effective hurricane response when lives hang in the balance and every second counts."
Every second? Bitch, there wasn't enough gas for people to get to safety. You're worried about seconds when we ran out of gas for millions of people?
Help us vote this asshole out of office. Kinky Friedman in 2006!
