McCain: Fooling no one with hurricane speech

McCain and Palin were in Mississippi earlier today. Who were they fooling? Exactly why were they there? Are they the governor of any of the Gulf States? No.  Mississippi’s Governor, Haley Barbour, invited them. Gee, I wonder whatever for? Could it be for the headlines? So they look like they actually care? Never mind the fact that the two of them there is completely worthless and is just for appearances sake.

Harsh words? Not really. Considering McCain’s comments on MSNBC earlier this afternoon AFTER being “briefed” on the Hurricane and disaster efforts. McCain said (and I’m QUOTING his words):

“The hurricane will make landfall tomorrow at noon”. WRONG. Tomorrow near daybreak.
“The storm will reach tropical status at midnight tonight”. It passed being a tropical storm about a week ago!

My point is that McCain obviously wasn’t paying attention to anything anyone said to him regarding the hurricane. He’s just there for the photo-op and to grab some headlines. And to distance himself from what he was doing when Katrina hit (celebrating his birthday with Dubya).
