The opening day of the Republican convention has been cut from 7 hours to 2 1/2 for some rainstorm that has been causing brickbat to binge drink more than usual. Conveniently enough, tonight's schedule included W and Dick "Dick" Cheney:
John McCain tore up the script for his Republican National Convention on Sunday, ordering the cancellation of all but essential opening-day activities as Hurricane Gustav churned toward New Orleans.
"This is a time when we have to do away with our party politics and we have to act as Americans," he said as fellow Republicans converged on their convention city to nominate him for the White House.
On the eve of his convention, McCain positioned himself as an above-politics, concerned potential president determined to avoid the errors made by President Bush three years ago. "I have every expectation that we will not see the mistakes of Katrina repeated," he said.
