You quote political blogs being political about this as justification for politics being inserted into this?

Actually, the majority of those are news items, not political blogs. All raise points that the politics of Bush contributed to the fact that the situation is as bad as it is. I'd say that makes it political, wouldn't you.

Even the New York Times is sensible enough to note that global warming didn't cause this hurricane. To say otherwise is not only unprovable, it's unlikely.

Hey, conservatives don't even believe global warming exists, remember? In any event, you are wrong, one of the major predicted effects of global warming is an increase in the intensity of storms, and recent studies are bearing that out. It is provable, and is likely.

Using a tragedy like tthis as opportunity to further a political agenda is tasteless.

No, it's not. It's the perfect time to show that the policies of the administration are causing human suffering, while that suffering is fresh in your mind. Most are ignoring how our foreign policy has caused suffering in other countries for too long, maybe seeing suffering here in our country well finally hit home to some people how the U.S.'s myopic policies are helping to destabilze and destroy the world. Maybe, just maybe, it will sink in for some people now.
