Rove On Hurricanes In August: "The Republicans Can't Seem To Get A Break"
By Greg Sargent - August 28, 2008, 3:35PM

Priorities, priorities.

Check out this Karl Rove quote buried in a Fox News article about the threat Hurricane Gustav poses to the GOP's convention plans:

"The Republicans can't seem to get a break when it comes to August and when it comes to the weather," said Rove, a FOX News analyst. "I know this is being thought a lot about in Washington and at the White House and discussed and I suspect they will monitor it carefully and figure out what to do."

Yeah, Katrina (which hit in August 2005) was really rough on those Republicans, no question about it.

Those poor Republicans. Mean old hurricanes picking on them. How about they huddle in that convention center for four days without electricity, food or water and see what happens?

1. Someone needs to bring that out tonight at the convention,

[Solly Mack]

2. Has the brainiac never heard of hurricane season?

7. They "don't believe" in global warming and have contempt for science.

They're probably not aware that August is a hurricane season. They're not exactly evidence-based in their decision-making. This is the party that believes that stem-cell research kills snowflake babies.

10. yet....they still wouldn't believe god was punishing them

snicker

19. Next up...

Rove complains he can't understand what's up with all the cold weather in November.

3. The Rethuglican message of today seems to be: "Feel sorry for us."

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. That's what bullies do when they finally get called on their bullying. They break down and cry.

[PA Democrat]

18. I will reserve my sympathy for those in the path of the storm because God knows they cannot count

on any assistance from Bush's government.

[Captain Hilts]

4. Boo fuckin' hoo...

ER: If he's looking for 'sympathy' he'll find it between 'shit' and 'syphllis' in the dictionary.

[Bluebear]

5. Never mind the victims, Karl. Just complain about your frigging party "getting a break"

Asscarrot.

[Bozita]

6. maybe it's Gawd sending a message to the GOP

[grannie4peace]

8. they prayed for it--

God said He would not be mocked.....i think getting thousands of ignorant people to pray for harm of other humans is a good wake up for rove et al --but he still misses the point.....kinda like that egyptian pharaoh

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

9. Cry me a fucking river you froggy douchebag. n/t

[jimshoes]

11. Karma,

It's a motherfucker sometimes, eh pasty?

[Stellabella]

12. Yep, the 35W bridge fell in August too.

Thanks to Timmy the Tool and his godawful Lieutenant Governor, the man-like Carol Molnau. There's got to be some way to come up with a graphic using the Tool's name to include his most famous failure.

14. Welcome to DU. Would you edit your post to erase "the man--like" comment?

Gender stereotypes aren't considered essential here at DU. Nobody cares if a woman looks "man-like."

[navarth]

13. Why is that pig not in PRISON

[nilram]

15. "and figure out what to do" ...

Like, not dismantle FEMA any further? Or even, say, start rebuilding it? So we could take care of any needed services in New Orleans in the next few weeks? And then really start rebuilding the area?

But no, he's likely figuring out how blame Bill Clinton for Gustav.

[fascisthunter]

16. According to Your Right Wing Dingaling Crowd

it's GOd's intervention.... now if only that same GOd would strike you down.

[niyad]

17. uhhh, kkkarl???? YOUR convention is being held IN SEPTEMBER

[ClusterFreak]

20. Yeah that's right Karl...

...a possible category 3 hurricane possibly bearing down on New Orleans - again - is bad luck for rich, white oligarchs such as yourself.

Here's some red meat if I EVER heard it.

[Dukkha]

21. tell that to the Katrina victims asshole

I'm sure their hearts bleed for your precious rich white status quo convention :eyes:
