It is unfortunate for the victims that there wasn't a RNC scheduled during Katrina's approach.




They had more important "issues" to deal with back then, like a birthday party.

US Republican convention in turmoil

Republican White House hopeful John McCain suspended most of Monday's first day of his nominating convention, as Hurricane Gustav sparked political turmoil as it zeroed in on New Orleans. Party leaders scrambled to change their plans, keen not to be seen by voters as mounting a celebratory event while a potential natural disaster unfolds on the Gulf Coast, exactly three years after the Hurricane Katrina tragedy.

"I hope and pray we will be able to resume some of our normal operations as quickly as possible," McCain told reporters via a video link from St Louis, after returning from a tour of relief preparations in Mississippi.

"We're going to suspend most of our activities tomorrow, except for those absolutely necessary," said McCain, who is facing the prospect that his best chance to sell his case to voters will be severely curtailed by the storm.

What Happened? I remember the Moorlocks, oops I mean GOPers, had their snake handling witch doctors praying for rain on Obama's thursday night parade, and it was a pleasant evening, now here comes another hurricane headed for New Orleans reminding us of yet another failure of Moorlock, oops I mean GOPer, leadership?????? Were the prayers answered by a god that appreciates irony?
