John McCain, Class Act, Part Deux

Politico reports that in lieu of canceling the Republican National Convention while a Category 5 hurricane pounds New Orleans again, the show will go on less festively.  John McCain may deliver his passionate acceptance speech via satellite on Thursday from Gustav’s aftermath.

The self-imposed hits keep coming for McCain. He plans to deliver his acceptance speech from the same geographic region that was drowned in 2005 while Bush & Co. diddled.  Seriously?

Won’t all the networks be pulling up photos from 2005, like the one with Bush and McCain and a festive birthday cake on an Arizona tarmac on the very day Hurricane Katrina devestation occurred.   Probably not the reminder you want while you make your plea for votes  this November.  Republicans bungled Katrina and the city isn’t close to bouncing back. Not the mnemonic device you want affiliated with your Party’s talking points.

I can’t help but compare Eastern Europe, which has been leveled in one war after another, to New Orleans.   New Orleans will increasingly be the bulls eye for heightened hurricane seasons as a result of global warming.

PS.  Sarah Palin isn’t convinced global warming is a “man-made” phenomenon.
