Turns out Bill "EVACUATE" White, who still wants to be your next governor, made some scratch off of post-Rita contracts he gave out, AFTER over 100 people died due to his unprepared evacuation call.
Former Houston Mayor Bill White, who widely was praised for guiding his city through the devastation of Hurricane Rita, acknowledged to The Associated Press on Tuesday that he made money by investing in a company that was hired to help the region recover from the storm.
I'd almost forgive him if these companies set up contra-flow lanes or anything else that actually HELPED Houston evacuate. But like most vultures, he swoops in afterward and picks apart what's left.

But now it looks like GoodHair wants him to bow out.
Republican Gov. Rick Perry accused Democratic challenger Bill White Wednesday of "profiteering" from Hurricane Rita and said White should drop out of the race if he can't clear up the allegations.

Perry said White should "immediately resign from the race for governor" if he can't better explain an investment he made months after the storm. The Associated Press reported Tuesday that White put $1 million into an energy company that he had enlisted for help after the 2005 hurricane.
Dropping out of the election? OK, I'd be OK with that. In lieu of jail time.
