Well, we can all rest assured — President Bush is “closely monitoring the situation.” How’s that for irony — a national disaster is monitoring a natural disaster.

You’re doin’ a heckuva job, decider!

$5 goes to the first blog reader who spots the story of President Bush getting in the way of rescue efforts.

$10 for the first blog reader who spots the first ‘Gustav is the result of global warming’ story.

$15 goes to the first blog reader who spots the story that mentions how risky offshore oil drilling is.

$500 dollars to the first blog reader who spots the story of Obama saying that 100,000 people died in hurricane Gustav.

How about the fact that even though Focus on the Family encouraged people to pray for rain to disrupt Obama’s speech, the weather was perfect, while as the GOP convention opening nears, it looks like weather conditions will at the very least mute the celebratory nature. I’m not one to believe in all that religious mumbo jumbo, but the irony is pretty rich in this case, no?
