NY Daily News: Bush hits "political panic button"



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Okay, I'll admit, I love the idea of Bush and the GOPers scrambling around:

President Bush hit the political panic button yesterday, calling a strategy session with top Republicans to salvage their shredded agenda.

A day after House Majority Leader Tom DeLay was indicted, and with Hurricane Katrina and the Iraq war hanging over him, Bush convened the summit with new House Majority Leader Roy Blunt, House Speaker Dennis Hastert, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and a few others.

"The Republican Congress is united," a defensive Bush spokesman Scott McClellan said earlier. "We are going to press ahead on important priorities."
That had to be a fun meeting between that bunch. But, it's just a little scary to think about what those "important priorities" might be. What will they come up with next to distract us?
