I was just thinking, this Gustav is proof that there is a God in heaven, (Michael) Moore said, laughing. To have it planned at the same time that it would actually be on its way to New Orleans for day one of the Republican Convention, up in the Twin Cities at the top of the Mississippi River Canada Free Press
OK…its Michael Moore, a nut on the fringe but he wasnt alone in his stupidity. A former head of the DNC was equally crass and insensitive:
The hurricanes going to hit New Orleans about the time they start. The timing isat least it appears now that itll be there Monday. That just demonstrates that Gods on our side. [Laughter] Everythings cool.
The essence of this statement, heartlessbut the apology? Its the epitome of insincerity:
Former DNC Chairman Don Fowler apologized on Sunday for joking in a private conversation that the timing of Hurricane Gustav demonstrates that God is on the side of the Democrats. ”If this offended anybody, I personally apologize,” *** ”One doesn’t anticipate that one’s private conversation will be surreptitiously taped by some right-wing nutcase” – ABC News
Blaming Republicans for his own crummy thought is typical, we’re used to it. The most troubling question remains…what about the people in the path of the storm, where do they fit in this lovely democrat scenario?
