Given that prior to, during, and after Katrina, conservatives in general and Republicans in particular ideologically and practically stood by the idea that the Federal government should have no role in security, relief, or reconstruction with disastrous results, can anyone see the current gush of concern by the GOP over Gustav as anything more than making political hay out of tragedy?
And yes, just asking this question could be construed as making political hay by the Ironically PC Thought Police. Whoop-whoop!
