NAY-sayers

Bush's friends who would be more qualified to head up FEMA than an expert on Arabian horses:

• His NASCAR friend, who has driven at speeds twice as fast as a hurricane's winds.
• His college friend with whom he went to Tijuana, who knows a thing or two about water-borne bacteria.
• His recovering alcoholic friend, who knows all about going without necessary drink.
• Dick Cheney's heart attack buddy, who had to cut out red meat, so he knows all about starvation.
• His electric chair guy from Texas, who knows all about criminal activity and how to curb it.
• His fly-fishing buddy who wears hip-waders, who knows what it's like to be in a flood.
• His oil company friend, who knows all about toxic pollutants in the water.
• Himself, whose experience with Where's Waldo? will help him locate lost folks.
