Mitt and Katrina...

Jon Keller reports that Gov. Romney is on the White House's short list to oversee the Katrina reconstruction effort. Whoever gets the nod, be it Romney, Giuiliani, Peter Ueberroth, or some other shiny GOP manbot, is getting anointed as the Next Great Successor to Bushie.

Mitt'd love it -- get him out of the no-win situation of the Massachusetts governor's race, and into the Deep South with billions of dollars to hand out. He'll get to develop a drawl and take photo-ops standing amidst rubble, his perfect hair oh-so-lightly ruffling in the breeze, his gleaming teeth blinding songbirds, causing them to veer into the giant multiplex Harrah's casinos to be erected along Biloxi. I think Mormons are supposed to disapprove of gambling, but I'm sure Mitt will be willing to leave it to Mammon.
