The end to a perfect week - now I have to defend little bush.

He was the only one to be unfortunate enough to have a camera trained on him when he got the news. I was in a room of a thousand people at the time. It took a half hour before disbelief was replaced by any sort of logical thought. Give the guy a break.

And keep in mind that he did manage to be PRESIDENTIAL in the hours, days, and weeks following the attacks. I despise the man but respect him for getting the country through a horrific time. For the record, Clinton and Gore would have done as well or better.
