A number of NYC ambulance companies are sending trucks and crews to New Orleans as Tropical Storm Gustav continues to move towards the Gulf Coast. Citywide Mobile Response Corp. spokesman Isaac Newman says FEMA contacted them at 10 p.m. last night to deploy ambulances; Citywide sent five ambulances and 15 crew members on the road this morning. Right now, Gustav is expected to be a major Category 3 hurricane when it reaches Louisiana on Tuesday at 1 a.m., with winds at 115mph. The GOP may consider delaying their convention next week--or making it more low-key--because of Gustav. The White House is also debating whether President Bush should cancel his appearance at the convention, given previous criticism of his handling of Hurricane Katrina.

Can the GOP instead send President cockbag to the hurricane zone so he can stand in the middle of New Orleans during the storm?
Let's load them with homeless before they drive down.
The perfect storm. Republicans cant seem to get a break. The lord is angry and has impeccable timing.
Hmmm is this my tax dollars at work?
is gas free and I dont know about it? isnt there more localized assistance? how about we rent a few trucks from a near by city?
i agree. with high gas prices, it would make sense to send crews from a nearby city. im all for helping but, its like sending order a mcdonalds big mac from cali and having it shipping to NYC via fedex.
