The White House is calling for a hair-splitting retraction from the NYT because they reported that Bush was "on vacation" while New Orleans was flooding on August 30 when, in fact, he was giving a
Yoo Ess Ay speech with the USS Ronald Reagan and accompanying naval personnel in the
background.
There's more....
As TAPPED's Greg Sargent
points out, this was
many hours after the White House had learned that New Orleans was flooding and, in some cases, on fire. It's worse: This was days after the WH had received urgent warnings and even a PowerPoint presentation on how the levees might breach and tens of thousands of people die. So where was the president?
San Diego. Plugging a breach in support for the war.
Heckuva job.
