Bob Herbert: Great article - but wrong on one point

When email Bob Herbert about his excellent Op-Ed today, I wrote:

Dear Bob,

Thank you for another great article,

September 5, 2005, A Failure of Leadership

but you are wrong on one point.

You wrote:

"Mr. Bush's performance last week will rank as one of the worst ever by a president during a dire national emergency. What we witnessed, as clearly as the overwhelming agony of the city of New Orleans, was the dangerous incompetence and the staggering indifference to human suffering of the president and his administration."

The performance of Bush in any given week of his entire pResidency has ranked as the worst ever.

However, the Mainstream Media, including this toilet rag The New York Times, which calls itself a newspaper, that you write in, has been giving Bush and his criminal gang the FREE PASS as they are run by a bunch of sycophants of the Judith Miller mould.

We bloggers have been hammering Bush from Day 1 in November 2000!

Thank you for a great piece.
