Morning Awful: Barbouric Behavior

So Mississippi is threatened by floods, and Boss Hogg Haley Barbour is reminding us all what a conservative disaster response looks like:

As the water rose, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour moved furniture out of his lake house outside Vicksburg on family land that was inundated during the 1927 flood. A week ago, he urged residents to flee low-lying areas, saying that the state wouldn’t assist the evacuations and that people should help one another secure their property and get out.

I’ve got mine, but you’re all on your own — suckers! And remember, this is the very serious governor of Mississippi who wanted to run for president and take that 3 am phone call.
