Dems Rejoicing Over Gustav

Democrats had better be careful what they say and when they say it. At Red State the guy who blogs by the name "absentee" happened to sit on a flight behind former DNC Chairman Don Fowler and a South Carolina congressman. He describes their conversation this way:

On a plane from Denver to Charlotte following the Democrats' convention, I found myself seated behind former National Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Don Fowler and Congressman John Spratt of South Carolina. Their conversation was interesting to say the least.

For example, they made fun of Sarah Palin for several minutes, Fowler calling her "Dan Quayle" on steroids and Spratt creatively describing her as "just terrible." They both agreed that, "Other than the simple fact that she's a female," she has nothing to offer.

Then there was this gem of a moment from Fowler:

So you see, it's funny. That New Orleans will get a hurricane. That's funny because it is due to hit when President Bush is scheduled to speak. Isn't that cool? Fowler isn't the only one who thinks so, just ask Michael Moore.

We all know Democrats used and use Katrina as a political football as callously as possible. Here's a candid moment showing some can hardly wait for another one.

All Class.

Do you think if the Dems had it in their power to turn this storm away that they'd do it? I don't. They have more to gain politically from the death and destruction it will cause.

UPDATE: Fowler issues classic non-apology apology.
