Have you seen Mrs. Bush Sr.'s comments about the refugees in the Astrodome, that they were underprivileged anyway so at least they didn't lose much. Yeah, only their friends and neighbors, everything they did own, possibly a familoy member or two.
To the Governor of Georgia's credit, he's forgoing a gas tax to try to end just this type of gouging. That's by far the worst I've seen though many areas around my are up to $3.50 or $3.75 and are or are pretending to be out of anything but high-grade.
Not only did he try to dismiss this because it couldn't help his political career, our esteemed pres. damage control is piss poor and no matter how much our so called liberal media (including and especially the NYTimes!) tries to brainwash us into making this less important than it is, our country has changed forever. The death toll is estimated to be around 10,000 at this point. It's not just going to go away like they all hope.
