Right after 9/11 was a great time for politics if you were out to slam anyone who didn't support shrub and wanted to rush through legislation that wouldn't get passed if we had a chance to read and react like normal

Clearly, whether right after a tragedy is a good time or a bad time to discuss politics depends on how the tragedy plays into your chosen position on the issue at hand...
