Gee, a week ago the Washington Post editorial board was praising his wonderful response to Hurricane Katrina. Now they're finally admitting he stayed on vacation and botched the entire thing. It's kind of fun watching the Post editorial board go through puberty.
And of course it wouldn't be the "new" Post editorial board if it didn't take a gratuitous shot (read: lie) at Democrats:
Some of the administration's political opponents are reacting to the administration's fumbling with barely disguised glee, hoping it will hobble the administration's policy plans and hurt the GOP in the 2006 elections and beyond. But all Americans, Democrats and Republicans, ought to hope that the administration will right itself sufficiently to oversee an effective recovery. And that's not just for the sake of Katrina's survivors. For the president to be rendered a lame duck more than three years before he leaves office would not serve the country well, at home or abroad.First, I wish the Democrats had jumped on this issue and hammered Bush from the beginning, like he deserved. Fewer Americans would have died had the Democrats done their job and forced Bush into accountability. So spare me the crap from the Washington Post editorial board claiming they did.
Second, nothing would serve this country, and the world, better than having George Bush neutered like a puppy, unable to cause any more trouble until his term is over, or he destroys the country - whichever comes first. We can no longer afford George Bush's "successes" either at home or abroad.
