But just goes to show, if you're in politics and the public eye, you gotta be REALLY careful all the time.

What is it they say about having a good character? Doing the right thing when no one else is looking or some such thing????

The point is we have a man who is a big wig of the DNC, a party that has been accused by the right of privately hoping the war and the economy go badly so they can take political advantage of it, grinnning ear to ear and beside himself with glee because a hurricane will hit a major US city on the same day as his political enemies convention.....

Pretend for a moment that the hurricane was due to hit on the night of Obama's big speech and that Carl Rove had said the things Fowler said.....can anyone hear honestly say that we wouldn't have a 400 post thread about it by now???

Do the right thing, Jeff? Right now, your beloved VP nominee is under fire for misuse of office, she has a pregnant daughter who isn't married, but engaged to a guy whose Myspace page says he doesn't want kids. On top of that, the date of Mrs. Palin's wedding and her first son's birth is off by about two months (or was he a preemie as well as the last?), and your Prez nominee was a womanizing adulterer. The idiot Dem said something stupid- your guys have actually done stupid things, stupid things that hurt others and denote a lack of character and morality. You seem to have no problem with that, so why should we give a rats ass about what some dumb guy said? I'm also fairly certain Rove has said far worse.

Worse then being gleefull about a Hurricane that for all he knew, might have killed thousands?

Do tell.

Gleeful is a bit of an overstatement- at least he's not in charge of the government who did allow thousands to die, and many more to suffer for a ridiculously long time.

Why are you slamming on Nagin like that? Oh wait....you aren't talking about Nagin.

With the caveat that Wenchy's pointed out the big and important difference between bad talk and bad action, Fowler was a fuktard for thinking such a thing, for saying such a thing, and for saying such a thing out loud in this day and age of ... well, exactly what happened, being YouTubed.

Idiot.

At the risk of school-yard tactics...the fundies started it.

I've made that exact joke. With fundies running around calling Katrina God's punishment against the 'mos and the other sinners, that leaves as perfectly fair game the counter joke that, "Gee, doesn't this prove that he's on OUR side?"

scaeagles · 09-03-2008, 07:22 AM

Well, except this one didn't cause near the devastation. I guess that means God is MORE on the side of the right.

Relax...it's a joke....

Watch the video again....if not for the seatbelt light he would have stood up and danced a jig.

Yes, a pretty amusing one for a Reganite.
