I'm thinking with my fingers here as I am watching continuing coverage from WWL TV. Bush the Elder is talking at a press conference in Houston at this time.
He's standing in front of some sort of panel, emblazened with a swanky logo proclaiming the "Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund". It's very pretty, but I can't help wondering how much it cost to make this backdrop. It seems to me that window dressing for the photo-op is a pretty low priority, and I'm wondering how many blankets, pillows, toothbrushes, and other basic necessities could have been purchased for Katrina survivors with the money spent on this pretty panel.

Ah, yes, the photo-op.
One might want to check out the front page of the Toronto Globe and Mail newspaper article dated September 6th. /05 and click on Stronach's Luxurious Haven for Victims of Katrina.
