And clear evidence that some reporters have had waaaaaaaaaaay too much time on their hands while covering the delayed Republican National Convention.
As Storm Disrupts Plans, G.O.P. Takes Up Tensions. (The New York Times, 8/27/2012)
Excerpt: The storm also posed a delicate challenge for President Obama, whose efforts to manage the response may have given him a moment to look presidential in Mr. Romney’s absence, but were also fraught with the risk of appearing to take advantage of a natural disaster at a highly politicized moment.
You know, Jim and Mike, during a natural disaster such as Tropical Storm -- soon to be Hurricane -- Isaac, I don't think the President gives a rat's ass what's going on inside the Tampa Bay Times Forum. He'll focus on the people in the path of the storm who need the federal government's attention and help.
