As Hurricane Gustav heads toward the U.S. coastline, filmmaker Michael Moore is making some waves of his own, while Republicans try to decide whether to postpone their convention because of the storm.

The controversial documentary filmmaker appeared on Friday evening's edition of "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" on MSNBC and said, "Gustav is proof there is a God...that it would actually be on its way to New Orleans for day one of the Republican convention in the Twin Cities at the top of the Mississippi River."

In the interview, Moore referred to the Bush Administration's difficulties in handling the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, which struck Louisiana and Mississippi on August 29, 2005.

"I certainly hope nobody gets hurt," Moore added.

Moore also called Sen. John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, "Bush's foot soldier."

Earlier in the day, MSNBC came under fire for posting a "Breaking News" banner questioning how many houses would be added to the McCain campaign ticket with his announcement of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential pick, apparently referring to a recent gaffe made by McCain when he was unable to answer a reporter's question about how many homes he and his wife, Cindy McCain, own.
