OUTSTANDING POST! MANDATORY READING-MUST-READ BUMP
Just imagine what he could do if he was President Bush's press secretary!
The limp-wristed whiners at the daily press briefings would be begging to be re-assigned elsewhere.Ben would drive them completely out of their minds.
Yeah, I think much of the Mayor's anger was really his projecting the guilt he must feel onto others as blame. I mean, it was hardly Bush's fault that all of those buses went unused.
There you go.
Imagine people equating Bush with the forces of nature. Amazing, isn't it?
Writing this piece for the American Spectator Ben is preaching to the choir. I doubt, though, whether the NYT, Time or Newsweek would print it...
Yep... keywords on those didnt match the ones I used. Oh well, the more the better on this story. Thanks for your help.
This endless fingerpointing serves no good purpose and accomplishes nothing. The MSM keeps focusing on the negative and allowing the leftwing to bash the President and members of his administration. Even though emotions are running high and people are frustrated, that's no excuse for this horrible human catastrophe to devolve into pure gutter politics. The MSM is in the middle of a feeding frenzy. They smell blood and they realize this is an a perfect opportunity to get the President.

Now that is an excellent idea.
Huge Ben Stein fan BUMP! He's always right on the money and very concise with his thoughts, and this piece is no exception.
Ben Stein bump!
Ben Stein is an absolute genius.
Great post!!
You might consider sending a copy to FOX, as for the past several days, they have lost all objectivity and grip with reality. Perhaps somebody at FOX can find a Conservative to read it out loud to Geral'dildo and Sheep'ard!!
While I agree with almost everything in this post, I must be the only Freeper that thinks Bush did not act quickly enough. I may also be the only one that thinks that FEMA was screwed when they were reorganized into the DHS and when a lawyer was appointed to head that subagengy. (You just will have to forgive my opinion of lawyers.) Once Bush did act (and it was not immediate as the comments about how long it takes to deploy troops would imply) he did it with force. He did kick a$$ finally and you can see the result. My opinion is that did not happen fast enough and 1.)lives were lost, 2.) we who suport him have taken and will continue to take a beating in the court of public opinion. We can afford neither. Flame away but I cannot opine otherwise, even if I am the only one with this view. It is what it is, and it will sort out, and we will see if this could have been managed better from the federal level. (Clearly the local and state levels both executive, NOPD, and LANG screwed up big time. Reacting to that reality quickly was THE imperative)
So your post in fact,stands alone.
Like you said,the more the merrier(particularly when it comes to Ben Stein!)
