That back in 1974, Mel Brooks would produce the perfect parody of what the first African-American president would be dealing with?

one of that 'ole gang of mine' was a guy, Tim. Tim was working he way up the FEMA ladder - one of those guys who came out of their teens at age 35 in terms of ability to handle responsibility.

During the Hurricane Andrew evacuation, they helicoptered him to the toll booths at the northern border of Florida.

Yep.

But only about the first 20-25 minutes or so. They turn it off somewhere between Bart and his friend sinking in the quicksand and when he's about to be hanged.
