Will Rita Harm Gays in Disproportionate Numbers?

Jonah Goldberg looks into his crystal ball and sees how an adversarial press might be blindsided by the identity politics aspect of Hurricane Rita:

"The questions raised by unlovely Rita are as painful as they are obvious. Will gays stay behind in disproportionate numbers in this disproportionately gay city? If so, Why?

And, of course: Will the federal government help keep Key West festive?

"Why weren't reporters standing at the ready to caterwaul about the wreckage at their feet? Cher albums and the collected writings of James Wolcott strewn about like beer cans and pizza boxes in an apartment yet to be transformed by the cast of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

"This all might sound a bit absurd, but this isn't far from where we are today..."
