Thread: Dem apologizes for joking about hurricane

CNN) — Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Don Fowler apologized Sunday for recently joking Hurricane Gustav's expected landfall on the same day as the opening of the Republican National Convention suggested God was on the Democrats' side.

A YouTube video of the comments posted by the conservative blog RedState.org and showed Fowler joking with South Carolina Rep. John Spratt about the timing of the hurricane while on a flight from the Democratic National Convention back to South Carolina. The person who filmed the conversation is not identified.

“The hurricane is going to hit New Orleans about the time they start. The timing is, at least it appears now, it will be there Monday. That just demonstrates God is on our side,â€

This will probably be forgotten by tomorrow. But if a republican had said it, how many weeks of pouring over the comment would we be made to endure? Always the double standard.

How stupid can you get?

Not funny.

Blame is widely scattered these days, and I blame Bill Clinton for his laxity to thwart threats to the country before he left office because of the Monica scandal investigations and I blame GWB for everything else during the last nearly eight years, not the natural disasters but the lackadaisical response to them and the continual erosion of America as a nation.
I just pray that campaigning for the 2012 election doesn't start the day after the new president is sworn in.
