1. what we really need is leadership
And this prez sure ain't it! None of this bickering in the media about who is at fault is going to do much more than make some people feel better. Now an actual Congressional inquiry--that's more to my taste!

Still I'm very glad to see the media covering the story so thoroughly. And I think the WH's attempts to blame something or someone will come off to the public as what they are--sophomoric attempts at evading responsibility. If they are all alone as finger-pointers, they will look all the worse.

So what the Dem leadership can do is talk about answers--about what needs to be done, and as JK is doing, actually get whatever done that they have the power to do.

You are right about the LA governor and NO mayor--we are not their constituents. We do have a right to be dismayed at the behavior of our so-called president.

"But the president, who was in San Diego preparing to give a speech the next day on the war in Iraq, went to bed."

That kind of says it all, doesn't it? None of us is surprised, though.
