Robert Reich, writing a few days ago on the unfortunate timing of the Republican convention:
There is nothing Republicans would rather the American people forget more than George W. Bush, who doesn’t even have a bit-part at the GOP convention opening today in Tampa.
But W’s ghost may be there, anyway.
The National Weather Service says tropical storm Isaac is now heading for New Orleans, and Isaac is projected to become a Category 1 hurricane by the time it makes landfall late Monday or early Tuesday.
Isaac is very likely to revive memories of the Bush administration’s monumental incompetence in dealing with the needs of Americans caught in Hurricane Katrina…
Irene here in NJ and up to New England came on land as a tropical stormn, then tropical depression. But it carried an immense amount of moisture and wreaked havoc on the Atlantic coastal states in its path.
Water, in the intensity and number of sheer inches, is deadly and disasterous.
Isaac seems to have done the same to the LA/MS coasts and New Orleans. Last I heard was 2 and a half feet of water fell in the worst hit areas. That’s a whole lot of water in a short time.
