(In case people need a reminder on what exactly John McCain and Our President were doing on this day three years ago (while people were DYING in New Orleans) the picture tells the story.
Republican officials said yesterday that they are considering delaying the start of the GOP convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul because of Tropical Storm Gustav, which is on track to hit the Gulf Coast, and possibly New Orleans, as a full-force hurricane early next week.
...
For Bush and Republican presidential candidate John McCain, Gustav threatens to provide an untimely reminder of Hurricane Katrina. A new major storm along the Gulf Coast would renew memories of one of the low points of the Bush administration, while pulling public attention away from McCain's formal coronation as the GOP presidential nominee.
Here is a quote from a McCain campaign spokesman included in the article:
"Senator McCain has always been sensitive to national crisis," said McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds
That the McCain spokesman had the gall to make that statement on the third anniversary, to the day, of McCain's and Bush's photo op with a birthday cake while people drowned in New Orleans is simply staggering.
UPDATE CTBlogger: Every year at this time, I do a post on the Katrina disaster and show the following video. This year, in honor of McCain's role in the national disgrace, I felt the video would be best added to this post.
