OUR NATION’S WEATHER LADIES: Cindy McCain and Laura Bush will actually (maybe) speak today — beginning at 4:50 p.m., Central time — at the Republican convention! They will talk about, uh, Gustav. The hurricane. They will talk about a hurricane. This is the new GOP platform: Talking about a hurricane. [McClatchy]
You’d figure that duo would rather share prescription drugs than the podium.
Humidity is rising - Barometer’s getting low
According to all sources, the street’s the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It’s gonna start raining men.
I mean it is the GOP convention, there no doubt will be a massive amount of (gay) men.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry was organizing a prayer service at St. Paul’s Central Presbyterian Church.
Woo-hoo. Here’s a hint, Governor Hairdo — pray for rain. And flooding. That should dry things right up.
It’s fun to watch these white fucks squirm and try to look compassionate.
They were against caring before they were for it
“We will spend the next four years prepared for Hurricane Gustav. We really didn’t fuck up that bad before, right?
Here, look: check it out:
HURRICANE!
I said it!”
“I am John McCain and I approve of this political stunt.”
Redeeemption song…
Cyclical ploy index goes vertical.
anyone watching CSpan now?
the Repub COnvention is probably the single-most pathetic thing I have ever seen.
I think I almost feel sorry for them
I guess they missed: http://wonkette.com/401878/fundies-literally-praying-for-rain-during-obamas-convention-speech
Pickles will show you all what to do with a hurricane — you drink it.
So, it has come to this, we have gone from the Bush Administration totally ignoring a hurricane to the entire Republican party being frozen in fear of one.
It is so bad, the Republican candidate for Governor in Washington State apparently couldn’t even make it to the convention:
Washington state Republicans on Sunday defended decisions by gubernatorial candidate Dino Rossi and two congressmen to skip the Republican convention, contending they were showing greater concern for voters and problems back home than Democratic Gov. Chris Gregoire, who took a prominent role at the rival convention in Denver in her bid for re-election.

Imagine how funny it would have been if the hurricanes had not happened, and no one had an excuse for avoiding Republican Convention like the plague.
At this point, I think Jim should try to get a speaking slot. They must be scrambling to fill time.
CNN.com has live shots of water sloshing over a levee. No breaching yet, at least in the hundred feet or so that they’re showing.
For all their talky talk the Republicans are doing nothing. Our Hopey Saviour just set me an email asking for a donation through the Red Cross. No talk, just action.
Honk my hooters! This day just keeps getting better!

“The last-minute additions of Bush and McCain were also a signal that the GOP convention could be inching back to its original purpose…”
Indeed, Ted Nugent has been on a diet for weeks and can now slither back into his pleather tour pants in order to introduce the Alaska cow - no, not the Governor-General but a female Moose named “Molly”, who will later be served to the head table.
And Laura will read a chapter from “The Pet Goat”, resuming right from where her husband, Shrub, had rested his index finger for those seven contemplative minutes while his bin-Laden cousins completed their government contract on America.
FOX News is reporting that Shrub is said to have remarked, concerning the alleged connection between global climate disruption and Hurricane Karl Gustav, “Bring it on!”

They might have issues talking about values. Drug use? Cindy’s on shaky ground on that subject. Fidelity? John boy has the whole rich trophy wife supporting him thing. Abstinence before marriage? Sarah Palin’s teenage daughter is knocked up. Integrity? Well, there’s the Keating stuff for McCain and Sarah Palin’s wee trooper gate.
Those two know a lot about blowing wind.
I don’t know what could have caused the brief stoppage in Repub news,
but I don’t think I’d call it a “Pregnant Pause”. Well, O.K. then, I will.
Thanks to Sarah Palin, for all that you did and keep on doing……
Now, for your dining and dancing entertainment:

The uproarious Palin clan truly is the gift that keeps on giving. Next it will be revealed that Piper runs a meth lab in the basement of the family home.
Eyes open out there Jim, the market for orange suits is still buoyant.

But how about that hurricane? Heckuva job by magical weather ladies talking it down from Category 4 hellbeast to Cat 2 mild zephyr.
I’m renaming Gustav “HurriMcCain.” After all, it’s provided some much needed cover for the Palin Family Circus. “Hurricane! Tragedy! No looking at the VP! Nothing to see there!”
Bush and McCain to America: Here we are, rock you like a hurricane (named Gustav).
Gustav, really? Shouldn’t they save that name for an Alpine avalanche?
You just KNOW the GOP will be making alligator creole out of Gustav…
Tearing a page out of their own playbook, The Grand Old Party is declaring Hurricane Gustav an ACT OF ALLAH.
Retaliation plans involve moving the delegates via an elite fleet of Gulfstream G650 private jets to the evil caves of Afghanistan where they shall feign a relentless search for the darkest force in the universe, OSB, who has been dead for years.

Awww, isn’t that nice. The Republicans let their wives speak when no one is watching. What I wanna know is where Bush, Condie, McCain and Sarah are… in a Mississippi motel playing mistress-swap? Eat yer heart out Bill Clinton.
I too oppose hurricanes.
