Rich on Bush

I would call Frank Rich's article in today's NY Times a Must-read. In fact, if he had dedicated more than a brief mention to the horrendous Iraq fiasco, I would call the article the best portrait ever of George W. Bush.

Here is just one paragaraph from Rich's article (entitled "Message: I Care About the Black Folks):

"The worst storm in our history proved perfect for exposing this president because in one big blast it illuminated all his failings: the rampant cronyism, the empty sloganeering of "compassionate conservatism," the lack of concern for the "underprivileged" his mother condescended to at the Astrodome, the reckless lack of planning for all government operations except tax cuts, the use of spin and photo-ops to camouflage failure and to substitute for action."
