When Finger-Pointing Can Ricochet

Obama pointed out that Sarah Palin opposes equal pay for women, and that McCain does too, based on his opposition to the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.  And, even though McCain opposed that bill which would have overturned a Supreme Court decision limiting pay discriminattoin lawsuits.  Obama said that McCain has a “clear record opposing equal pay” that “Palin is tasked with promoting.”

So what does the RNC do?  They blame Obama for playing politics duirng a hurricane:

RNC spokesperson Alex Conant responded to Obama’s comments: “With Americans putting politics aside and preparing for Hurricane Gustav, it’s unfortunate that Barack Obama is continuing to put politics first and attack John McCain and Sarah Palin. If a natural disaster is not enough to convince Obama to ease off the political attacks, then what is?”

Does Conant know that while this was happening Karl Rove was giving a speech calling Joe Biden “a big, blowhard doofus”?
