According to the caller, President Bush repeatedly called her office with generous offers of help, but each time she put him off by claiming that she needed time to think about it. <BR/><BR/>Additionally, the caller told us that Blanco is responsible for turning back all the Red Cross help that was poised to bring relief. <BR/><BR/>Just thought you'd like to know that the Republican spin machine, freshly lubed by Rove, is running smoothly. Apparently once again the best brain in the Republican party is still willing to turn his energy not to helping actual human beings but to shaping the flow of blame. Of course.
