Portrait of a man walking away from his own mess
With Teddy Roosevelt in the background, no less.
How ironic. Or not. Elizabeth Bumiller of The Times writes:
So, after fluffing the base, Bush is AWOL on this, like on everything else.
Richard Cohen got it exactly right: Moral cowardice (back here).

How ironic. Or not. Elizabeth Bumiller of The Times writes:
White House officials say that Mr. Bush will not speak out about the amendment banning gay marriage in his political trips around the country and will leave his five-minute Roosevelt Room announcement as his major show on the issue.
That was obvious at a political fund-raiser in Louisville, Ky., last week, when Mr. Bush never once used the words "gay marriage" in his stump speech.
So, after fluffing the base, Bush is AWOL on this, like on everything else.
Richard Cohen got it exactly right: Moral cowardice (back here).
