After being AWOL for days, President Bush’s speech writers and handlers are finally responding to the tsunami disaster and firing up the teleprompter. Bush could have gotten out there and said the same things a week ago, but I guess he had to balance the demands of one of the greatest natural disasters ever versus his overgrown brush.
Anyway, it was pretty funny to see him standing with President Clinton today, after the official excuse makers took a shot at Clinton last week when explaining why Bush had disappeared. It looked like Clinton appreciated the irony of the moment as he stood there.
