While GOP presidential nominee John McCain today pulled all the balloons and festivities out from under this week's Republican National Convention, the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee was caught joking about Hurricane Gustav making U.S. landfall tomorrow.
Gustav is the reason McCain literally deflated all the balloons slated to fall in St. Paul at the RNC. It would look bad to a national TV audience. But former Dem bigwig Don Fowler thought the timing to be quite funny.
To hear him, thanks to the Drudge Report and www.redstate.com, click on:

Poor Sen. Barack Obama. The Democrat has had trouble with supposed supporters hurting his campaign with their loose tongues. Fowler sure didn't help Obama with his joke. Who in their right mind makes jokes about a hurricane about to destroy an American city?
What's worse, Fowler and film icon Michael Moore have said the hurricane's timing during the RNC shows God is on their political side. Of course, they made the comments in amusement. But all humor originates from someone's sense of reality -- twisted or not.
During World War I, the slogan to Americans was "loose lips sink ships" as German U-boats preyed on Allied shipping. Almost 100 years later, loose lips may cause the Obama campaign to take some unneeded hits as well.
