New Orleans' "Have-mores" Struggling on Arizona's Golf Courses

The Bush administration is working hard this weekend to highlight the distress Hurricane Katrina has caused its core supporters, the Have-mores. At an unprecedented press conference on Friday, Bush outlined many of the problems his people, those he called "the forgotten ones," are facing.

"We've all seen the animal instincts of those who chose to stay in New Orleans," said Bush, "But few have heard of the trouble that those who took the responsible action of filling up their SUV's with $70 of gas and evacuating to golf resorts in Arizona have been having.

"In fact, I just heard from Karl Rove's nephew today and he - he wasn't able to bring his own golf clubs with him when he left his New Orleans vacation home. His friends loaned him some, but he's got a long torso and needs extra length clubs. He tells me his handicap may never be the same. That's a story of devastation that's not being told."

In fact, a survey completed today by the recently created federal agency RRA (Rest and Relaxation Admninstration, headed by Bush himself) shows that almost 75% of New Orleans' displaced millionaires are currently without spiked golf shoes. Arizona faces a golf cart shortage the likes of which haven't been seen since the snowbirds started to leave in March.
