Hurricain Gustav, conventions and projection

Nothing of note about the Clinton, Biden or Kerry, who all did fine last night. I guess Michelle Obama is the only one who really gets their dander to the point of grasping at straws.

Luckily, we have a tropical storm threatening Florida. This makes Freepers freak out about Katrina II:

My Favorite Headache:

FEMA is meeting with the RNC AS WELL as the White House over his speech.

It would not look good at all if there is a catastrophe taking place and
Republicans are seen partying in the twin cities at the same time.

First, FEMA is meeting with the RNC? Anyone think they'd be meeting with the DNC in a similar situation?

Second, are the freepers really counseling the RNC run away scared from a hurricane, despite the massive expense and losing a week of momentum?

penelopesire provides the answer:

DELAY IT!!

DELAY IT!!

I hope they delay it.

It's the last sentence that really drives the message home.

PSYCHO-FREEP explains why the delay is so sorely needed:

the Convention will be about as well covered as the Westminster Dog Show. It will be Hurricane Central, 24/7 and all the poor poor peeples who couldn’t even afford bottled water who had been kicked into the gutter by those evil Republicans. (Again)

??? Does this guy really think this would fly? "Politicizing a disaster" anyone?

Bobalu solves the problem!

Just do the speeches and whatever else right from the storm area....would make for great TV, dramatic viewing...and a very huge audience. McCain and his veep in shirtsleeves passing out relief supplies and making speeches for a few days! McCain, the veep, and Jindal of course :-)

Not even hurricanes can stop McCain! So manly, so totally how Republicans are!

Finally, I return to PSYCHO-FREEP who says without irony:

New Orleans has become our own Sodom and Gomorrah. There is no wonder it
has a bulls eye on it’s forehead.

God hates New Orleans so much He doesn't care about the RNC convention? The irony!
