Jebbie continues family tradition of bungling hurricane response.

At last, a story about just how bad the Wilma situation is in Florida. Bush I had Andrew, Dubya had Katrina, and now Jeb shows his family colors by screwing up his own hurricane strike in Florida. If only they could screw things up that didn't affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of people....

MIAMI, Oct. 25 - South Florida was a coast-to-coast mess on Tuesday as millions of people remained without power, huge lines formed for basic supplies and drivers wove through packed, debris-strewn streets with no traffic signals.

Despite Gov. Jeb Bush's assurances that recovery from Hurricane Wilma would proceed smoothly after lessons learned from seven previous storms, the government response looked frayed. In Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, people lined up for ice and water only to learn that government deliveries of both were late.

Many busy intersections had no police officers to guide impatient drivers. Schools and most businesses remained closed as dazed multitudes wandered in search of food, gasoline and cellphone reception. The one bit of luck was blissfully cool air, brought in by the storm, that made the lack of air-conditioning endurable.

A day after Hurricane Wilma struck, leaving at least six dead, power had been restored to several hundred thousand households and businesses by Tuesday evening. But 3.1 million still had no electricity, including about 93 percent of customers in Broward and Miami-Dade Counties. Eleven other counties also reported power failures, many of them widespread. Officials at Florida Power and Light said some customers might have to wait four weeks.

The prez announced that he'll be heading to Florida today, according to the article. Let's see how they try to choreograph this photo-op. "You're doin' a heck of a job, Jebbie."
