his is the problem Bush has had all along. He has no PROXIES because the people who are SUPPOSE to be helping get out his message spend most of their time sniping at him. THIS attack, however, forces Repbs to actually get up and DEFEND their polices.

You know, there is a parallel here. The rescuers working in NOLA didn't expect the affected residents to take pot shots (literally, shooting / "sniping") at them. And the federal relief assistance apparatus didn't expect the Lousiana relief assistance apparatus to snipe at it - but it is.

Yeah, I was more then ready to cut Blanco and Nagel slack. I mean my reaction was "WHAT THE....What kind of people SHOOT at rescue helicopters?" But since the Dems decided to politize this we have NO choice but to fight. If you listen and read the Leftist they REALLY think they can use this to discredit the whole Conservative idea of Limited Goverment. This is not just an attack on Bush, this is an attack on the last 25 years from Reagan to now. The want to make everything to Feds fault to jusitfy their demands for more Fed $$$ to FIX everything.
