I bet GWB would have been MUCH more quick to act. I'm starting to think that good old fashioned racism has something to do with his response. Just thinking at this point, haven't decided that.

Are you kidding? With all the Democratic money that comes from that town? No way.
I don't have time to fish for the link on the California Secretary of State website, but Beverely Hills voted 57%-42% for Kerry last year.

...if Democrats would not get money from the Hollywood set. A large part of them are decadent rich folks with McMansions and private jet planes. Nobody needs a private jet plane. In any case, Hollywood has been trending Republican lately.
