David Limbaugh reports on yet another example of Bush Bashing in the Main Stream Media.
bq. Old Media Quick to Paint Bush Insensitive
Predictably, the Washington Post has decreed that President Bush is insensitive to the human tragedy in South Asia because he didn't emerge quickly enough from his Crawford ranch to express his sympathies to the victims. According to the Post:
Sheesh -- President Bush takes a day or two to make sure that the relief will go to the right places and that we have a better assesment of what is needed and he gets pilloried by the Press for being 'Insensitive'.The Bush administration more than doubled its financial commitment yesterday to provide relief to nations suffering from the Indian Ocean tsunami, amid complaints that the vacationing President Bush has been insensitive to a humanitarian catastrophe of epic proportions. ... Although U.N. Emergency Relief Coordinator Jan Egeland yesterday withdrew his earlier comment, domestic criticism of Bush continued to rise. Skeptics said the initial aid sums -- as well as Bush's decision at first to remain cloistered on his Texas ranch for the Christmas holiday rather than speak in person about the tragedy -- showed scant appreciation for the magnitude of suffering and for the rescue and rebuilding work facing such nations as Sri Lanka, India, Thailand and Indonesia.
