If a natural disaster occurs when a Democrat's in charge, does it make a noise?

Ed Driscoll posts this on Instapundit:

CALIFORNIA DECLARES STATE OF EMERGENCY FOLLOWING GAS LEAK THAT HAS BEEN SPEWING NOXIOUS METHANE FUMES INTO THE AIR FOR MORE THAN TWO MONTHS.

The leak has been dubbed “the biggest environmental catastrophe since the BP Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010; and for now, there is no way to stop it.”

But Jerry Brown has a (D) after his name, which is why the network nightly news programs haven’t been running this story in a continuous loop.
