Petty press habits persist, despite the national crisis. Even on the national day of mourning, some journalists continued their sniping at President Bush, judging him primarily by the style rather than the content of his message.
"Bush has yet to find a note of eloquence in his own voice. He is, in fact, distrustful of it, and went for Texas plain talk, rhetoric as flat as the prairie and as blunt as a Clint Eastwood soliloquy," wrote Newsweek's Howard Fineman, later noting, "he did not look larger than life at his Oval Office desk, or even particularly comfortable there, and he cited Psalms without the kind of emotional resonance voter-viewers have come to expect from an Empathizer in Chief."

ALL Anti-American arrogant scum, who would disparage a great President in time of WAR and who would "BLAME AMERICA FIRST".

Sadly, Bush appeared to have taken over where Clinton left off. Maybe he has a different view now.
My thoughts exactly.
I believe that Susan Spencer is married to Boston Globe columnist Tom Oliphant. He's not a DemocRAT Party money man, he a DemocRAT Party FLACK.
"...there are some who will argue that he didn't win that election."
Had I been a cameraman for CBS news last night, I would have stepped out from behind the camera, onto the set, and slapped Dan Rather upside the head with the kind of punk slap he deserves.
The author's name was something like Franzen. He went on to say he has sadly has no confidence in Bush because Bush Senior's finest hour was getting permission to fight in the Gulf War. Maybe Franzen was real tired and so was talking stupid. That's all the energy I'll spend on this loser.
Today, in his Washington Post column, Richard Cohen focuses ("Anatomy of a Failure") on the failure of our intelligence agency/apparatus and how this is the result of years (decades) of deterioration: "The intelligence failures that produced Tuesday's horrific consequences were themselves bipartisanly arrived at. It took the combined efforts of Democratic and Republican presidents, plus key members of Congress from both parties, to give this nation an intelligence apparatus that failed us so badly." and then this missive: "The Reagan administration attempted to reconstitute that element [human assets] of the intelligence apparatus. The trouble was that CIA Director Bill casey went, in the words of one knowledgeable Capitol Hill source, '1,000 miles too far.' The Iran-Contra scandal ended any effort to rebuild human assets."
Cohen goes on to note that America was targeted for this terrible act not because of our leadership position in Western Civilization but "because it [America] has repeatedly inserted itself into the Middle East.... And everywhere we go in the region and even from outside it, we exude the noxious modernity -- the music, the clothing, the contempt for tradition and authority. We are a dangerous people." [Can you believe that one?!]
Finally: "We failed and we failed badly at the business of intelligence. Republicans were at fault and Democrats were at fault and so, in a way, were we all."
There you go: a liberal media stupid talking head coming to the typical conclusion -- we are all to blame equally so no finger pointing allowed! And don't you dare turn your eyes to blame any of us opinion-shapers in the liberal media because we've always had the best of intentions. Frigging unbelievable.
The one that comes to my mind is The Roper Report, 1992 or 1993. 89% of the Washington presstitutes voted for Slick.
I can see that you think very much along the same lines as I do. My initial guess was China. I certainly hope it's not Russia or a combination of the two.
