"Good for her, but as Malkin asks - where's Bush on this?"

Uh, having his Secretary of State make the call. That's her job. If you're implying that Bush should make the call for public relations purposes you're probably right. So many people are impressed by appearances, if Bush had rolled his sleeves up and pretended to help the National guard during Katrina he may have saved his poll numbers--not that anyone would actually have been helped. Clinton instinctively know when to get in front of the cameras and when to hide--and that's all he did. Bush appears to just want to do his job and have his cabinet do theirs. Just my 2 cents.

[the anti-liberal]

Bush was silent on the issue for an awfully long time before now, and when he did speak on the issue, it was unexpectedly weak.

Perhaps he knows what he's doing and being deliberate, but all I can know is what I've seen.

We shall see.
