"Bow Tie Boy" Carlson calls * a Coward on 9-11

[RamboLiberal]

In Esquire Magazine edition featuring Ron Reagan's article against Bush. Wow - I never thought I'd agree with Carlson. Kudos to him for calling this one like it is. And remember John Edwards didn't run when he had the chance. He stayed in D.C. with his family. I doubt if either of our guys would run. And I bet Edwards wouldn't been running off to a secret bunker for well over a year.

... The attacks initially made me sorry I voted for him. For most of that day, as my wife and children stayed inside our house listening to the roar of fighter jets overhead, and black smoke from the Pentagon hovered above our neighborhood, Bush failed to return to Washington. My family sat unprotected a few miles from the scene of a terrorist attack; Bush hid in a bunker on some faraway military base.
It infuriated me, as did the subsequent excuses from White House spokesman. There was a risk in coming back, they said. There was a risk in coming back, they said. Of course there was. That's the point: Leaders must take risks, sometimes physical ones. Bush should have elbowed his Secret Service detail out of the way and returned in a display of fearlessness to his nation's capital. I found it distressingly revealing that he didn't.

1. Bush's behavior on 911 is the great untold story of the century.

There is just a blanket of silence about this. Yet Bush is using 911 to define himself, as Kerry is being accused of using Vietnam to define himself. But there is no similar media scrutiny of Bush's actual behavior.

2. Isn't it ironic that the theme of one of his new commercials

is that one shouldn't hesitate?

3. Tucker sucks, but at least he's honest

and doesn't just shove his head up Bush's ass like Hannity and the others.
