Does Chung take checks?

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Federal Emergency Management Agency is finalizing its preparations to help the regions that may be affected by the oncoming Hurricane Rita, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said Wednesday.

"It's really all hands on deck to deal with this storm," he said. "We've now prepositioned or are in the process of prepositioning a lot of supplies. We've got helicopters on standby.

"We're working very closely with the governor and the other state officials to make sure that we are completely connected in terms of their needs and what capabilities they're asking us to bring to the table," Chertoff told CNN's "American Morning."

"We are taking it very seriously and we are leaning as far forward as we can in preparation," he added. (Posted 3:17 p.m.)

What do you think the Bushits sacrificed in order to have another monster storm so close to Katrina? This time they are On Top Of This, they can be all over this storm, they have all sorts of shit "Prepositioned" for this storm, they can look like big old well prepaired heros for this storm. They can look real good this storm... Texas is a great big red state. No one in Houston is going to drown in their attic. No Republicans will be harmed.
