Beltway Snark

The DNC has been calling on McCain to denounce things Rev. Hagee has said about Hurricane Katrina being punishment from God. I think he’s tired of that line of attack:

Rev. John Hagee’s view that Hurricane Katrina was punishment for the sins of New Orleans residents is “nonsense,” McCain said at least eight times aboard his bus today.

The DNC has been calling on McCain to specifically condemn those remarks for weeks even though the GOP presumptive nominee has previously rebuked other Hagee remarks.

“It’s nonsense, it’s nonsense, it’s nonsense, it’s nonsense, it’s nonsense. I dont have anything additional to say. It’s nonsense, it’s nonsense, it’s nonsense, I don’t have anything more to say….it’s nonsense. I reject it categorically.”

You hear that Dean? It’s nonsense. Happy?
