Today’s Washington Post reports:

…after flying to Jackson, Miss., to receive a briefing from Southern governors on hurricane preparations, McCain called on delegates to take off “our Republican hats and put on our American hats,” as he put it in a televised briefing for reporters from St. Louis.

So, Republicans aren’t Americans? They have to put aside their party and act like Americans? McCain sounds as mixed up as the Bungler-In-Chief.

Speaking of whom, the GOP breathed a sigh of relief when Shrub and Darth Cheney skipped the nominating convention in order to pay attention to Hurricane Gustav and hope Americans don’t pay attention to how badly they fucked up New Orleans after Hurricane Katarina.

Meanwhile, Evangelicals are praising their Lord and Master for delivering them from supreme embarassment at having to applaud the dimwit who has made “Republican” a dirty word. He hasn’t done much better for “American.”
