2. I don't know how you can read thd NY Sun?

This rag makes the Post look like a journalistic tour de force. I won't even go to their web site any more for fear that my view will help their hit counter attract an advertiser.

Bolten Plans To Lift Bush's Poll Numbers

The new chief of staff at the White House, Josh Bolten, has formed a five point "recovery plan" to restore public confidence in President Bush and improve his poll ratings, Time magazine reports in today's issue.

One important element of the scheme, according to the magazine, is to emphasize the president's views on immigration. While Mr. Bolten does not think his support for a guest worker program is popular, he intends to highlight instead the president's policy to get tough with illegal immigrants by pressing for more funds for Mexican border patrols and he intends to use the new recruits and new hardware as a backdrop for press photo opportunities.
