Perry Declares Texas to be a Disaster Area

The Chronicle is reporting that Texas Gov. Rick Perry has declared Texas to be a disaster area in anticipation of the damage that could be caused upon Hurricane Rita's landfall on the Texas coast.
Of course, Perry spokeswoman Kathy Walt couldn't resist taking a shot at Louisiana officials in making the announcement:

A FEMA official is already at the State Operations Center, which went on full alert status today with 34 state agencies on site around the clock, said Perry spokeswoman Kathy Walt.

"FEMA has already been part of this. They have offered whatever support we need,'' Walt said. "Texas is not Louisiana. You won't see that breakdown occurring here.''

Real professionalism, I gotta say.
