pathetic...

So Democrats attacked Bush endlessly for the past eight years, using the War on Terror against the White House while simultaneously (and with the tacit acceptance of the Media) belittling those who would dare "make politics from war". Of course, this sort of cognitive dissonance has been on public display for the past decade.
Hypocrisy is bad enough, but now we have the White House, with a President who couldn't be bothered to respond to a terrorist attack that failed only because of the actions of those on the plane for three days, attacking those who criticize its pathetic performance as "making politics out of war".
Pot, kettle: introductions settled.
Here's a clue that the White House could stand to learn, and admittedly most of us learn it when we're children: criticism is often-times accurate, whether we want to admit it or not. Flailing at the messengers won't change the facts. Calling people childish, as Mr. Gibbs has done in your name, Mr. President, for doing nothing more than standing up for their own principles, is itself the definition of "childish"... and many other choice words that could be used.
It's like Nancy Pelosi's attacking the citizen-driven tea Party protests this summer as "catering to violence". So, Nancy, let's think this through. There were, for all the millions involved, zero Tea Partiers arrested for violence (though they did have a nasty tendency to actually clean up their own litter, a unique thing in American politics totally absent from the Left-wing protests of the past decade). There were arrests of people who ATTACKED the tea partiers, most notably the SEIU thugs who attacked Mr. Gladstone for doing nothing more than trying to hand out buttons and signs... or the Democrat-party employees who were caught red-handed defacing their own building and trying to lay out "evidence" to frame the Tea Partiers. Hm, let's see. Reality says that the violence, then, is directed AT the Tea Partiers, not FROM them. Paging Ms. Pelosi, if you actually were concerned with violence, you'd condemn those who were ACTUALLY guilty of violence, not those on the receiving end who committed no such acts. then again, it was never about being honest or fair... just like the administration's pathetic name-calling and attempts to distract away from their poor response to things, like this latest terrorist attack, is not about addressing honestly their faults. That would require the most narcissistic president in our history to actually admit that, like every other human being, he and his ideology could be (and are) wrong on many things.
