Dean called Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius around 5am one morning after the tornado destroyed Greensburg, Kansas and discussed with her what to say about the tornado and how to blame the war in Iraq and the Bush administration on a slow response to the aftermath.
Gov. Sebelius, called Senator Sam Brownback on his cell phone and confessed to him that she had been instructed by her party leadership on how to politicize the tornado's destruction of Greensburg and attack the White House and the Iraq war for a seemingly slow response. She reassured the Senator that her allegations didn't blame him or Pat Roberts, also a Kansas Senator, for the lack of immediate response. That explains her public statements to the press that proved later to be untrue. This all turns out to be false and the governor herself has back tracked on her own claims. Sound familiar? Katrina 2.0 Will Dems keep exploiting deaths in Iraq & tragedies at home, for power actually come up with a real plan 4 the US?

The simplest explanation that fits all the facts; Gov. Sebelius told the truth at first, then was promised more aid for her state if she took back some of her statements and said she was getting everything she needed.

BREAKING NEWS From the Quinn and Rose Show
10 May 2007
Same Words -- Different Mouth Piece
By Rose
PLEASE NOTE: The following is information we have received from a reliable source. We have never been misinformed by this person in the past.
After Mother Nature did a number on the good people of Kansas, Governor Sebilius did a "Mother" of all numbers on the American people -- especially the people in Greensburg, Kansas.
Kansas Kathleen Sebelius had said that because Bush sent too many of our National Guard Members and resources to Iraq -- there weren't enough left to go around in Kansas. After those remarks to the media, she made a phone call to Senator Sam Brownback (R).
Keep in mind that Governor Sebelius has a decent relationship with Senator Brownback and other Kansas Republicans. In fact, she has, for the most part, led as a moderate rather than a liberal in Kansas.
According to our source; during her phone conversation with the Senator, she offered an excuse for her words to the media. She explained that because everything is so political right now -- she was told not to allow an opportunity like this pass.
She went on to say that "Howard" called her around 5:00 am and told her not to ask the White House for any help, or make any statements until she heard back from him. Then "Dick" (Durbin ?) called her an hour or two later and told her to use the excuse of the Guard being at war.
Hoping Brownback would understand, she apparently went on to say that he had to understand that with everyone feeling the heat about the war, they needed to get press on something else. She said she didn't think it was right to use it like this, but she didn't feel she had much of a choice with current climate.
She also promised that she'd try to move away from the comment when she and Brownback were to meet up later and tour the damage.
This certainly sheds a lot of light on Katrina -- and confirms the suspicions that many of us had at that time. Katrina was engineered in much the same way.
If they are going to read from the same script every time something like this happens, the least they could do is mix it up a little. The are just so darn predictable. They will do anything for political gain.
Brownback should show some spine and tell the American People and the Administration the truth. Where is his sense of deceny -- where is his loyalty to his party? Quinn and I were on Sean Hannity's radio program this afternoon. Sean had invited Senator Brownback to respond. So far, we haven't heard anything from him.
Let me ask this of Senator Brownback; What in the world would you have to lose if you were to be honest about the phone call from the Kansas Governor? Or, perhaps this is the better question; What do you have to gain by protecting Sebelious? Do you honestly think she would be there for you down the road? Do you think she gives a rat's *** about your bid for the Presidency? These aren't people you can count on -- when will we learn this?
Senator Brownback is not exactly the Paul Bunyan of Politics -- but he could be. He has an opportunity to do what no politician has done before him -- tell the truth.

I live in Kansas City, Kansas.... and I was surprised to hear her make the comment about not having enough equiptment and trucks here to respond... Because When I drove by the Kansas National Guard building here it was full of trucks and that was the day before the tornado hit greensburg... So I immediately new she was lying. We have plenty of military resources here to act promptly to greensburg. And the citizens of greensburg that have been interviewed on the News don't seem to be the ones complaining about any of this.

Gov. Sebelius got it right in her first statement. Anyone who doesn't believe that the National Guard has been extremely hampered by the loss of equipment to Iraq & Afghanistan will be in for a real harsh lesson following the next disaster. I don't know why she backed off, but someone must have promised her something.

The real shame of it is that nobody has any trouble believing the story. Are we ever going to get back to being Americans, rather than Democrats and Republicans?

Pathetic. If there is any evidence of this, I hope someone comes forward with it. Then we can take back Kansas, then we'll go to Iowa, then Nebraska, and Nevada, then on to Oklahoma, and Missouri, and don't forget Vermont. Then we're going to take back Washington D.C. HeeYaaaarrrrrrrrr!

Probably! But if she wasn't already a Bush-bashing Defeat-o-crat, she wouldn't have gone along with it for a "New York Minute"!
