From one of the initial news items about President Bush's response to the tsunamis:
Earlier yesterday, White House spokesman Trent Duffy said the president was confident he could monitor events effectively without returning to Washington or making public statements in Crawford, where he spent part of the day clearing brush and bicycling.
This is the man who claims to be a "compassionate conservative?" I'm embarrassed. I'm also dismayed, appalled, and disgusted. Would it have hurt the man to come out and stand in front of cameras and say how dreadful the death of thousands of people is?
May he fall off his bicycle while carrying his stupid brush-clearing chain saw.
