Al Gore's campaign manager supports President Bush?

Apparently she does. Democratic party power player Donna Brazile (campaign manager for Al Gore's 2000 presidential candidacy), a New Orleans native whose family was devastated by Katrina, broke party lines in supporting the President's Katrina relief efforts. Yesterday she told syndicated columnist Cindy Adams:

"Right now we need a president who will help. He's helping. I'm so grateful. Poverty and misery is humbling. I'm humbled to the core that this administration is helping the poorest of the poor. Why beat up on a president who's helping? When I'm calling around for willing hands, I'm not worrying about party affiliation. ... "Kicking people who are working 24/7 to bring assistance? I don't think so. When I needed to relocate my family, some of whom were sick and on welfare, when I needed to find them housing, white people opened their hearts and homes. A Red Cross volunteer found my father. I've seen Anne Rice's house. It's in 5 feet of water. People, white and black, are reaching out to one another. If the government didn't act quickly, the people acted quickly. It's no time to play the race card. ... "I applaud this president for stepping up." Link.
