This is a must read about how Governor Blanco's staff worried about what she should wear during the Katrina crisis. If would be hysterically funny if it wasn't tragic. And I can guarantee that neither the Governor of Mississippi nor his staff worried about what he would wear.

Some key segments from the Blanco link and a note:
Blanco and Nagin to testify Wednesday before the House panel investigating the Katrina mistakes.
"The next day, two Blanco press staffers appealed to other senior aides to stop travel that would have had the governor leaving the state on a day when President Bush was scheduled to be there.
Blanco communications director Bob Mann: "White House will be thrilled that she left the state. They will eat us for lunch. She cannot snub potus."
"Gov. Blanco might dress down a bit and look like she has rolled up her sleeves," press consultant Kim Fuller of Witt Associates wrote in a Sept. 4 e-mail to aides including Bottcher, Mann and Kopplin. "I have some great Liz Claiborne sports clothes that look kind of Eddie Bauer, but with class, but would bring her down to level of getting to work."
Former Federal Emergency Management Agency director Michael Brown also was criticized for e-mails that showed him discussing his wardrobe during the crisis created by Katrina. Brown resigned amid questions about his disaster management experience.
