I agree with most of my blogging brethren when I see this and think that McCain is an opportunist bastard:
Presumptive GOP nominee John McCain, his wife, Cindy, and ticket-mate Sarah Palin were heading to Jackson, Miss., Sunday for a briefing at the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency, which will monitor hurricane response.
I’m not sure why McCain needs a briefing. President Bush, sure, but why McCain? He isn’t president yet. Isn’t he being rather presumptuous by sending his lackies to Georgia to stir up trouble and to act like he’s actually in charge of anything by getting briefings like this?
And I also agree with Will Thomas on this: McCain could potentially do a lot more good in his abandoned-since-April Senate seat than by going down to Mississippi and sucking up local police which will be required for security, instead of letting them do things like…evacuate people.
P.S. John McCain found a way to have neither Cheney nor Bush speak at his convention as well, though it probably ended up being a choice they had to make (though they could reschedule them for like Thursday or something)
