Bush Rolls Out Plan...to Insulate Himself

So, let's see...the Bush administration had no plan to deal with a massive natural disaster that we knew was coming, has no plan to bring troops home from Iraq, has no plan to deal with skyrocketing energy prices, has no plan to address staggering budget deficits...but the White House is now letting the public know that it has a plan to politically insulate the president from any accountability whatsoever. Unbelievable.

Oh, but in case you thought Democrats were drawing this simple contrast about Bush's misplaced priorities, think again. As the New York Times reported there is a "silence" among "many prominent Democrats." The Democrats' professional election losers back in D.C. are concluding "that attacking [the President] would permit the White House to dismiss the criticism as partisan politics-as-usual"...as if that ever mattered to the GOP in similar situations. That line of reasoning is either inanely stupid, or a public rationale for once again not having the guts to challenge the White House, even when it has so monumentally failed.
