Bush and McCain are all ready.

Bush has to make the Convention. He can't remember a single mistake he has made....so why not wait a week before responding this time?
Hope Bush tries to show us how Obama would have responded.
Mary Landrieu became all but a Republican after getting all that cash.
Now might be a good time to re-post McClellan's "twofer" remarks.

I am sure they will take a break in the convention to display some phony concern, as if the last time didn't really happen. This might be their chance to rewrite history.
Her first words when getting off the plane; "Is it always this hot down here?"

But you're absolutely right, it will cost a MINT to reschedule the convention and the theatrics will suffer as a result. I bet a bunch of them wish they could just cancel it altogether so people wouldn't be reminded that they are, in fact, Republicans.
Seems like a lot of Repubs up for election were trying to avoid going to the convention anyway.
(Grew up in the region & they are kinda overdue; this is compounded by the fact that the levees in New Orleans were rebuilt/repaired to Cat. 3 standards, and the nearby lightly populated and poor areas have not recovered. Their is too little land between them and the Gulf to blunt the water from a Cat.5 or the push of 130+mph winds. DAMM, I do not like these thought!)
They giving complete refunds for airfare and motel reservations?
I'm sure the McCain canpaign would be happy to do that.
guess the RNC should move there convention up to Halloween .
(apologies, etc)
Away out here they've got a name
For wind and rain and fire
The rain is GUS, the fire is TAV
Like the Other Wind, KATRINA
Katrina blew the stars around
Sent those clouds a-flying
Dubya sat there like a lump
While folks were out there dying
Katrina, Katrina
They called the wind Katrina
Before I knew Katrina's name
Heard her wails and whining
I had a vile scum president
And he was always lying
And then one day that president
Decided to steal a city
Now we're lost, so dark, no, lost
Not even God can pity
Katrina, Katrina
They call the wind Katrina
Out here they've got a name for storms
Wind and fire and rainy
And when you're lost and all alone
You'll be robbed by Bush & Cheney
Now we're a lost and lonely State
Authoritarians steal and burn
Katrina's left, away and gone
But in Gustav, will return
Katrina, Katrina
They call the wind Katrina
But what we now have...
...is GUSTAV
:(
It's the only way to be sure.
We'll see.
Mother nature is basically a bitch. The late George Carlin once did a bit about Mother Nature. His take was that she is always trying to find a way to get rid of us. She can't stand being pissed on every day. He loved the tree huggers whinning about trying to save the earth. He said the earth will be here long after the humanoids are gone. It may not look as it does now, may not have all the species since we are wiping them out at a pretty fast clip, Thanks to Governor Palin for ignoring the Polar Bears. The earth will be here and maybe the only inhabitants will be a few cockroaches and the odd alligator.
Everyone move inland, it is where we will all be living once the ice caps have melted.
Also, the networks would be very unhappy, since they're built their schedules around the dates -- and they don't take kindly to disruptions.
But, more important, the GOP doesn't give a rat's ass about working people suffering and dying. Besides, they will get two big breaks.
1. They can quadruple the number of preachers who will pray to the invisible sky god, which will make the fundies wet their knickers. They will do it under the guise of asking for help for the hurricane victims.
2. Any Dem criticism or tough questions from the media will be deflected with "How can you play politics when people are suffering from the tragedy in [fill in the blank]?" They will, of course, play politics 24/7.
Looks like Gustav is making a little swing to the west and will not directly hit NO

MWI's contract included a $5 million incentive to deliver the pumps by the start of the 2006 hurricane season. And Corps officials were under pressure to get New Orleans ready for the season, the first since Katrina flooded 80 percent of New Orleans and revealed deep-seated organizational and engineering troubles within the Corps.
MWI is owned by J. David Eller and his sons. Eller was once a business partner of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in a venture called Bush-El that marketed MWI pumps.
Let us all hope that they work as planned. The Bush's are always making a buck off the backs of others.
