Today in the LA Times' Politics section:
Kerry Faults Bush's Delay at School After 9/11 News
McCain Decries Ad, Vouches for Kerry
It's one of those juxtapositions that makes politics so interesting: Bush is criticized for his inaction on September 11, 2001 after being told of the first attack, while an anti-Kerry group attempts to undermine Kerry's military service, which was marked, of course, by decisive action in the line of fire. While I don't necessarily endorse attacks on the President for what he did that morning, it's clear that Kerry's stature as a military leader is a threat to the November hopes of the GOP and its allies.
However, I will say that this is pathetic:
"Bush has said he stayed seated to keep from alarming the children."
It would have been preferable to have a man of action with actual combat experience in control that morning.
It's understandable that a former ne'er-do-well with no real leadership experience would freeze up for a few minutes.
It's completely unacceptable to make excuses for your shortcomings. Fucker.
