The Washington Post has become an instantaneous birdcage liner. You don't even need to have a bird; the cr*p is already on the paper.

The title is, of course, a lie. Not until the fourth paragraph does the Post admit that Governor Blanco delayed in calling on the Guard until Wednesday. The article does not bother to mention that under the US Constitution and the Louisiana Constitution, authority over the Guard remained with the Governor until she said otherwise.

The lede for this story implies that central fact. Why would the President have had to negotiate with the Governor, unless the Governor had the initial authority? However, to state the central fact that the Governor had to act first, would have undercut the political bigotry of the Post. And we can't have facts getting in the way of a good story, now can we?

Ah but it confirms in one of their OWN pillars everything we have been telling them about how this words. Confirmation that the DNC attack lie "It's all Bush's fault" is just that, a lie.
