(AP) *snippet* Aides also had concerns about Blanco's physical appearance and discussed ways to make her look strong but compassionate. Their ideas, according to the e-mails, included having Blanco "put a few bags of ice in the hands of the citizens who need it" and stop "doing too many 'first lady' things."
"Gov. Blanco might dress down a bit and look like she has rolled up her sleeves," press consultant Kim Fuller of Witt Associates wrote in a Sept. 4 e-mail to aides including Bottcher, Mann and Kopplin. "I have some great Liz Claiborne sports clothes that look kind of Eddie Bauer, but with class, but would bring her down to level of getting to work."
"She would look like a woman, but show she is MOVING MOUNTAINS," Fuller wrote.
Former Federal Emergency Management Agency director Michael Brown also was criticized for e-mails that showed him discussing his wardrobe during the crisis created by Katrina. Brown resigned amid questions about his disaster management experience.

DK note: What is it with these people???? Liberal or conservative, both sides worry more about their image than real people's problems! I always knew that was often true on a smaller level, but cannot believe it still happened during such a catastrophic event. Blanco should be held accountable for this just as much as Brown was. :furious:
