On Monday night, Politico posted two stories with the same theme: Tropical Storm Isaac seriously threatens to ruin the Republican convention and remind voters of Republican incompetence during hurricanes.
In the story “GOP fears ghost of Hurricane Katrina at RNC 2012,” Politico's Alexander Burns and Maggie Haberman just keep skipping over the Democratic mayor of New Orleans and the Democratic governor of Louisiana as they predict the most damaging political scenario they can hope for, er, imagine as the storm spared the GOP convention site in Tampa:
[P]arty officials and convention planners are increasingly anxious about a different and possibly more damaging scenario: a split-screen broadcast of Republicans partying in Tampa alongside images of serious storm damage in states such as Louisiana and Mississippi.
It’s sickening how their minds work.
No longer even funny.
It would be more appropriate to show the hurricane and Zippy playing golf on split screens.
The RNC have nothing to do with a hurricane.
Desperate times for the left.
True...and they're going to be disappointed. This isn't going to amount to anything but they will try to make it into a Shepherd Smith moment (won't anyone please help those people).
Nothing lower than the rat media rooting for death and destruction to further their political aims.
Here in upstate New York (and the Northeast) many small towns were heavily damaged by Hurricane Irene and those affected certainly didn’t get any better assistance from the Federal Government than did NOLA. The people themselves are still righting themselves with the assistance of the State Government. The difference between Upstate New York and NOLA is that they did not have stupid mayors, like NAGIN and state governors, like BLANCO, as their leaders and they are used to being self sufficient, not looking for welfare daily handouts from the governments.
It’s sickening how their minds work.
Remember CNN reporter in a row boat in a five inches of water and two guy’s walk past her?,that was funny.
I’m still pizzed that Bush allowed himself to be blamed for the slow response for Katrina when it was clearly the fault of an incompetent RAT mayor and governor. Note how this issue is STILL being used against Repubs and will be far in the future. Same with the economic collapse. Sickening how most Repub politicians are completely unprepared to address this when it is brought up.
If Issac mirrors Katrina then this will be in Obama’s lap and not under the control of Bush or Republicans.
When is this pri*k ever going to start taking any responsibility for things happening during his term?
I was part of a church group that travelled to LA after Katrina to help with the (endless) clean-up. We we’re joined by folks from all over the country.
I suspect that the vast majority of them were conservative Christians.
