So is the DNC still trying to spin it propaganda about the Kansas tornado and Iraq or have they given it up as yet another Dean engineered PR disaster? Interesting bit of data that came to light during Katerina that proves the Gov of Kansas is either totally incompetent or knowingly lying. According to the Adj General of the Illinois Nat Guard during an interview on, I think Hannity’s radio program, in Sept 2005, there exists an set of procedures under which a Gov who has NG troops on active duty can request NG troops from any of the other 50 states to step in to fill a need. The Gov also has the ability to appeal to the National Govt for immediate assistance from the US Military to response to an emergency.

The Gov of Kansas did NONE of those things. So either she is wholly incompetent to fill her self proclaimed role of “CIC Kansas National Guard” or she is knowingly lying about just why she dragged her feet in responding to the tornado damage.

So Sue and be damned DNC. You are caught in your own PR trap here. If you want to push this into the courts where you will only highly the hyper partisan hack behavior exhibited here or you demonstrate the Democrat Gov’s complete unfitness for her office. Either way it a Lose-Lose for the DNC

I heard her being interviewed and she mentioned that the other states had the same problem of the NG not having the equipment needed either. However, she never said that she “called” them. Yes, she is lying....she has her talking points.
