Bush, GOP; hypocrites!

Whitewashed sepulchres trying to whitewash their sins by mouthing a few unfelt words written by someone else. Ask me why I'm not impressed.

With Tribute To King, Bush Reaches Out

President Bush paid honor to the life of Coretta Scott King from the pulpit of a Baptist church in suburban Atlanta yesterday, recalling that "as a great movement of history took shape, her dignity was a daily rebuke to the pettiness and cruelty of segregation."

It was the type of eloquent tribute that Americans have come to expect from their president when an iconic figure passes. But the presidential gesture took on added significance because it marks the latest step in the administration's effort to repair its frayed relations with many black civil rights and political leaders.

Bush became the first president since Herbert Hoover to serve a full term without addressing the NAACP, which many acknowledge as the nation's leading civil rights organization. At the same time, Bush's relations with the Congressional Black Caucus were frosty, contributing to a growing gulf between the administration and black voters.

Well, I have a few words for Bush and his cadre:

Michael.
Brown.
Katrina.
New Orleans.

Any questions?
