Could go either way....

Beaumont Mayor Evelyn Lord
Why the Left may target her: She has been in office during (and linked by some to) police abuse and ethics violations, some involving accusations of racism.
Why the Right may target her: She's from Massachusetts

Presidential Advisor/Puppet Master Karl Rove

Bill White

[Ocotillo]

White, Brown........ nah, I'll just leave that alone.

[Spurminator]

Oh yeah. Oops. I haven't been paying attention.

Looks like Lyda Ann Thomas is on her own... And I'm not really certain of her political affiliation.

Perhaps this will be more of a "Disaster vs. Success" debate amongst the Punditry.

It's time for the wild card.

Chief Justice of the United States Nominee John G. Roberts, Jr.

He's a rich, white, male, lawyer. That right there makes him response for roughly all of the bad shit that befalls non-white Americans in life, including, oh, a category 5 hurricane annhilating their home. Surely any catastrophic natural events are the result of global warming, and being a rich white male, he's clearly responsible for that, so the Mother Earth crowd has a reason to blame him too.

Already last night some special needs folks came in to town and where complaining "you didn't learn the first time"... cause they had to wait on the bus
2-3 hours after getting here

I blame Bush for that...
