In a letter sent on September 23, United States Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) asked President Bush why his White House point person for disaster coordination and recovery, Karl Rove, was headed for a political fundraiser in North Dakota on the same day Hurricane Rita was expected to slam into Texas and Louisiana.

Why, indeed.
