More San Diego Firefighters

San Diego Union-Tribune (10.26.07), via ThinkProgress:

"Some of the firefighters seemed more interested in a shower and a hot meal than Bush's visit. Still covered in ashes, firefighters Danny Chandler and Chris Cortright from Mount Laguna waited in the back of a pickup.

They could see the showers and the food tent, but the president's visit kept them and dozens of other firefighters from moving."

Bush's visit cheers some, irks others

"'I appreciate him being here,' Chandler said, drinking Gatorade as he waited in the sun. 'But they could have organized this better. I'd just as soon eat.'"
