Today's Washington Post editorial is outrageous and full of exaggerations and outright lies about the wonderful responsiveness of the Bush administration to Katrina.
I suggest we make this a DU activist corps media blast project for the day.
An astonishing quote:
"So far, the federal government's immediate response to the destruction of one of the nation's most historic cities does seem commensurate with the scale of the disaster. At an unprecedented news conference, many members of President Bush's Cabinet pledged to dedicate huge resources to the Gulf Coast. The president's decision to release a part of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to compensate for the loss of Gulf Coast refineries may represent one of the first truly appropriate uses of that facility."
So, Bush spent the first 2 days after the hurricane at fundraisers, birthday parties and Medicare events on the West Coast, and only TODAY is sending the military to the Gulf Coast, but his "immediate" response was totally "commensurate"? So the president and his cabinet having a press conference about the worst natural disaster in the nation's history is "unprecedented"? What is this blather?
