Actually the report was a creation of the continued Democrat beauracracy, not just holdovers but the career civil-service leftists. Bush's fault was not stopping it or changing it sufficiently. Clearly the administration dropped the ball, this will be remembered as one of the uglier moments of the 8 Bush years, the administration's "ketchup is a vegetable" incident.

To me what is important is that the administration recognize and address the holes in control and the mixed messaging. The incident WILL be used against us this year. And I'm not too down on Rush. He was only doing his job, addressing myths and errors. And letting this report out without sufficient editing WAS an error. IMHO Rush did overreact, which didn't help any. But bottom line a problem is being corrected, and hopefully lessons learned.

Of course now the pressure is back on the Chicken Littles to find another excuse to flee the party.

This incident was a tempest spun off the Northwest coast of the NY Times, ginned up into hurricane Limbaugh by an unusually hard blowing rush of winds.

It’s already blown out to sea, with no landfall.
