Damned if he does...

Michelle Malkin has a great column up today on the ridiculous New York Times editorial criticizing the Bush Administration for not implementing a racial profiling policy in our nation's airports pre-9/11. I wish I was making this shit up.

In an editorial this week that embodies the Left's unmitigated gall, the New York Times castigated President Bush for not doing enough after receiving an Aug. 6, 2001, briefing memo warning vaguely of bin Laden-planned domestic terrorism. According to the Times, Bush should have "rushed back to the White House, assembled all his top advisers and demanded to know what, in particular, was being done to screen airline passengers to make sure people who fit the airlines' threat profiles were being prevented from boarding American planes."

Nope...no left-wing hypocrisy here. Move along.

America's "Newspaper of Record"? Yeah - a Milli Vanilli record maybe.

In the Times' defense, they do preface that bile with:

"No reasonable American blames Mr. Bush for the terrorist attacks..."

The use of the prefix "Mr." (quite popular with the ANSWER/MoveOn.org crowd) aside, it seems for a fleeting moment that sanity might prevail here.

"...but that's a long way from thinking there was no other conceivable action he could have taken to prevent them."

Never mind. There's ALWAYS a "but". I wouldn't wipe my butt with the New York Times (even if it was soft and fluffy).
