POSTSCRIPT: If Gustav spawns a significant disaster on the Gulf Coast next week, it’s likely also to be a disaster for Republicans.
Even if President Bush dutifully absents himself from the convention to attend to storm relief, the emergency will serve as a reminder of the administration’s scandalous mishandling of the Katrina aftermath three years ago.
We might also see video clips of Bush merrily gifting John McCain with a birthday cake in Arizona at the very hour that Katrina was ravaging New Orleans and killing hundreds of its residents. (See photo below)
But, naturally, even a political partisan such as I sincerely hopes that Gustav somehow fizzles before it can create any human tragedy.

What’s with naming the storm Gustav. I sense an anti-Scandinavian bias. Can we boycott this?

A schadenfreude moment for Dems whether they admit it or not.

Maybe God answered the Focus on The Family prayers but got the locations wrong.

Which reminds me….”Mayor” Ray Nagin was at the Convention last night. He was commenting on how New Orleans citizens were being prepared to be evacuated if flooding starts but it seems he has already evacuated himself!
Does this say much for the priorities of the democratic party?
It is incredible that he got reelected Mayor of N.O.

Maybe somebody should tell Bush that Minneapolis is nowhere near the Gulf Coast. Or maybe they don’t want him to know that.

Hokumboy, Be careful what you pray for?
