What If A Republican was caught saying this?

In the next anti-terror bill passed by Democrats, they will ban video cameras from airplanes. At least, they will after this incident.

The ex-chair of the DNC, Don Fowler, was on an airplane flying away from Denver. Some enterprising person started a video recorder on his conversation. They caught him laughing up a storm (pun intended) when talking about how God is on the side of Democrats... because a hurricane was about to fall on the coast of New Orleans taking the thunder (pun intended) from the RNC.

Fowler apoligized for the remarks. He's tried to pass them off as just an obscure reference to Fallwell's rather absurd comments. But that's not the point. When you watch him, he's genuinely glad that Gustav is making landfall. He's not just making a joke, like I did with the puns above. He's just darned glad that the RNC has to compete with a hurricane.

Remember a while back when some jags from Enron were caught on tape joking about how they were going to rip off people? This tape has the same feel to it. You realize how this guy really thinks.
The difference is that when the Enron tape came out, no one was worried that someone had broken into the private conversation between two executives.
In the case of Fowler, Democrats are actually quietly arguing that it was creepy to tape Don.

Again, if it were a Republican who was caught saying the same thing...
