McCain’s speech in Kenner last night (which Fanboy Stybbie got autographed). By the way, Kenner is not New Orleans.
When Americans confront a catastrophe they have a right to expect basic competence from their government.
Yes, basic competence in serving photo op with fake presidential birthday cake.
As I recall, it wasn’t even a real cake. It was a prop cake that nobody ate and was left on the tarmac for somebody else to clean up.
Btw, my favorite review of his Kenner speech was the one that compared him to “the cottage cheese in a lime green jello salad.” HA! I think it was on Eschaton.
Excuse my French Darlin’, but Shit does float, and that is all McCain is about.
I have nothing nice to say about this photo op. It’s good to know that while this double-talker is eating cake with the president of the uber-rich, some of us were swimming for our fucking lives. Oh yeh, he’d be on Air Force one heading to the city…perhaps for a fly over of the city like Bush did. Jack-asses! Oh, and didn’t he just lie about voting for the 8/29 commission…twice? And then have the audacity to call Obama staffers out for attacking him because they called into question his lies about Katrina? Hmmm…..looks like we’re gearing up for another round of Republican systemic hate politics. grrr….
