From: "Mark" 

Bob, I've seen the governor in clips on TV relating the call from W; and
I'd go looking for a url for you, but I really don't think we should
continue this premature "blame game" thing until after the water
is pumped out and calmer heads have prevailed.

Though things are looking real good right now (in the main areas that the
media chooses to cover) there are still heartbreaks to come and we do the
families suffering losses a disservice to so antiseptically discuss blame
in the midst of their angst.
