.. the following quote in the letter from Gov. Blanco to President Bush dated Aug. 27th ..

I don't buy that for a nanosecond.

If there were any credence to it, the headlines EVERYWHERE would have been four stories high, beginning Monday the 29th.

Variation on the theme already outted by Buckhead.

Here's a link to the official request dated Aug. 28th from Gov. Blanco to President Bush for Federal help (pdf file):

I don't know about the other request on Aug. 27th -- that's why I was asking the freeper about it.

I'm just trying to get it clear in my own mind what happened as to requests for help, etc.
