"We need to keep working to get our national surrogates to explain the facts......"

It worked. The national surrogates, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, and the host of other dependable democratic allies went to work gleefully.

President Bush had that donkey tail wrongfully pinned to his backside by a horde of misfits eager to have the opportunity. That was the beginning of his loss of support due to an ignorant public ready to be spoon-fed what to believe.

I have maintained that this was the plan they were going to use if we had been hit by a terrorist attack, and when the hurricane came along they decided to implement it, since the terrorists had let them down.

Notoice how they segued from the attacks on Katrina to the attacks on intelligence on Iraq to pulling out of Iraq.

They were too ready with the criticism on the hurricane. I was immediately suspicious, and I will bet that if we could get access to the e-mails from the DNC to Blanco, I would be proven right.

Imagine that a dirty bomb had hit Chicago. I think the responses would have been identical.

Yes, the "slow-response" tail pinned on Bush DID work with the connivance of the Dems and the MSM.

By the same token, why didn't the President and the administration immediately go to work on UNPINNING the tail? Why did they sit idly by without response while every charge was leveled at the Republican administration, Homeland Security, FEMA, Brown, etc. while the Louisiana governor and NO mayor got a pass?

This is a rhetorical question. Those who've been reading my posts for years have read my banging away at the pitiful and ineffective White House PR staff including the sweet but pathetic Scott McLellan.

It also doesn't help to have a President who is always turning the other cheek making it easy for him to be stabbed in the back.The New Orleans fallout-damage to the White House is already done, and no amount of truth (email evidence) coming out can change this reality.

That was the beginning of his loss of support due to an ignorant public ready to be spoon-fed what to believe.

It began when Bush went on vacation... and the press bemoaned, once again, his time spent in Crawford. They then set their sights on 'Mother Sheehan' and the propaganda-mill went into overdrive.

Until the offices of the MSM are stormed by angry citizens... the propaganda will continue. They will work with the Dems... MoveOn.org, George Soros, the UN or any foreign government in order to promote their leftist, socialist agenda.
