Will Hurricane Frances Overwhelm the Coverage of GWB's Speech on Thursday?

[displacedyankeedem]

I was thinking that this sucker looks bigger than Charley and is probably going to hit the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Palm Beach corridor. The national coverage of *'s speech might suffer in the duel for media attention, no?

1. Hell, if the Hurricane hits Jeb's state

before *'s piehole opens, then the media will completely ignore * and the whole RNC crapola bombs.

9. it's not getting here until late Friday, at the earliest

It sounds like Saturday - Sunday is more likely.

2. Maybe a Split Screen?

Death and Destruction heading towards Florida and * accepting his nomination for prez......I would rather watch the Weather Channel.

3. doubt it

4. He can only hope.

I cannot see any way Bush can give a speech that will appeal to anyone but those who have "drunk the Kool-Aid."

5. I heard it was going to hit this weekend...possibly late saturday?

and that it has the potential being a 5! If that is the case wouldn't the evacuations be taking place...those poor people...ugghhh..they are really getting hit this year...

6. Bush *hopes* that it overshadows his speech

I doubt that they want anybody listening to a speech making new promises and ignoring across-the-board failures on all previous promises and commitments (except for those made to the wealthy).

See especially: "November 21, 2001"

7. The storm is not due until Saturday

but you can bet a lot of people, down here, have got better things to do right now, other than watch W make an ass out of himself.

8. I think God is pissed at Jeb and Georgie boy ... why else would two

hurricanes of this magnitude hit Florida on an election year. :freak:

[MrBenchley]

10. Wouldn't that be a hoot!

The GOP is trying to pretend this unelected drunk is God's choice for America...and God throws a hurricane at his brother's state in response...

11. You know you're a fucking failure

when Mother Nature is trying to prevent you from being heard.
