Gustav the party pooper

Timing is everything.

After all the hooplah of last week's DNC convention, it would have been nice if the GOP had had their day in the sun as well, but hurricane Gustav seems to have put a huge damper (pun intended!) on the festivities. The two most important people at the GOP convention, Bush and Cheney, opted out of the convention to keep themselves available should aid and funds be required from Gustav's wake.

Now THAT is putting your country ahead of your party, and yourself!
