Old New Orleans

John McCain showed up in New Orleans today, still damaged almost three years later by Hurricane Katrina, vowing that the Bush Administration's mishandling would never happen in a McCain presidency.

The Democrats' response? The DNC reminds everyone that McCain opposed emergency assistance back in 2005. MoveOn.org starts a petition asking McCain to repudiate the endorsement of John Hagee, who said that Katrina was "the judgment of God against the city of New Orleans," (You can sign it here if you like.) much like Obama had to denounce Louis Farrakhan.

Kudos to John McCain for drawing attention to what still has to be done along the Gulf Coast, but shame on everyone--including McCain--for politicizing it.
