Out of Touch

Josh has the Washington Post's latest spin (via its hack-in-chief Howie Kurtz) on its printing of the false statement by an unnamed Senior Bush administration official that Louisiana Governor Blanco did not declare a State of Emergency.

Kurtz, of course, misses the big point. The excuse that the falsehood was not deliberate is inculpatory of the Bushies' incompetence on a whole other level. It suggests that the Bush White House was so out of touch that it did not even know of Blanco's declaration.

This actually makes sense given the narrative that is taking shape regarding BushCo's complete lack of caring and ancillary lack of awareness.
