Rove in charge of Katrina recovery efforts
aw, shit... i'm just now back online after getting in from s. america only to read this from dan froomkin...
the only thing that "recovery" and "reconstruction" refer to in this gaggingly naked ploy is recovering and reconstructing bush's plummeting political fortunes... it has nothing to do with anything meaningful... i am so far over the top with my outrage, i simply don't know how to express it any more... i'd ask how bush thinks he can do this but the answer is the same as it has been for all of the uncountable number of previous outrages - not only because he can but because he can without any real consequences...

All you really need to know about the White House's post-Katrina strategy -- and Bush's carefully choreographed address on national television tonight -- is this little tidbit from the ninth paragraph of Elisabeth Bumiller and Richard W. Stevenson 's story in the New York Times this morning:
"Republicans said Karl Rove, the White House deputy chief of staff and Mr. Bush's chief political adviser, was in charge of the reconstruction effort."
Rove's leadership role suggests quite strikingly that any and all White House decisions and pronouncements regarding the recovery from the storm are being made with their political consequences as the primary consideration.
