From a reader:

Jonah,
Longtime reader of NRO here; I’ve been weary of those who play politics with tragedy even longer.
A point of order on KS tornado:
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (not a native Kansan, BTW) was on CNN discussing the shortage of National Guard equipment for assisting the tornado victims and cleanup of Greensburg KS. I live 40 miles east of Greensburg. My family traveled east on Friday morning to visit family; this was the day of the tornado. En route we encountered over 50 National Guard humvees traveling in the same direction ( i.e., away from Greensburg) on Interstate 70. They were no doubt headed for their weekend maneuvers, presumably at or near Fort Riley KS.
So the point is, there is plenty of equipment in Kansas. By a fate of bad timing, they all happened to be about four hours away. I’m sure they are there by now.
I am sickened by the fact that my governor (and the likes of Obama) are using this terrible disaster in some political endgame to bash the Bush Administration.
