Partisan Hacks Attacking the President

And by partisan hacks, I mean a Republican Congressman and The Moonie Times.

As I noted earlier, Jonah Goldberg is having doubts about how the White House is handling this. Reporters are turning on their subjects, both Republican and Democrat, for spending their time backslapping and congratulating eachother on their hard work while people are dying.

What's most incredible about this is that this is a situation where doing the right thing is relatively easy, politically speaking. Citicorps, Exxon, and anarchists are all aligned on this issue: those people need to be helped. Helping the people of Louisiana right now is as popular as the War in Afghanistan was in the days after 9/11. But Washington politicians are apparently so unused to doing the right thing, they can't even figure out how to do it.

On that note, kudos to the CBC, Urban League, and NAACP for making an issue of this.
