OK, I'll be nice about it. I mean, I can understand why the anthrax investigation wouldn't be a priority with Bush. After all, on the Hill, it was only Democrats who were put at risk, and in the rest of the country only lesser beings like New Yorkers and other Blue State types died. And workers in that Florida newspaper that probably had a scoop on the Busch twins. All this is expected, and at this point we don't hold it against Him.

What I can't forgive is the shamelessness of it all. The investigation starts in 2001, and in August 2004, with a little more than a month to go before the Republican coronation convention, the investigation heats up? Puh-leeze!

WELLSVILLE, N.Y. Agents investigating the 2001 anthrax attacks searched homes belonging to the founder of an organization that trains medical professionals to respond to chemical and biological attacks.

More than three dozen federal agents searched two homes in the Allegany County village of Wellsville in western New York. Property records list the homes as the past and present addresses of Doctor Kenneth Berry, who founded PRE-EMPT Medical Counter-Terrorism in 1997.

Anthrax-laced envelopes were mailed in the fall of 2001 to news media and government offices. Five people were killed and 17 sickened.

Doctor Berry, in a 1997 U-S-A Today interview, advocated the distribution of anthrax vaccine. (via WSTM, Syracuse)

Interesting what you can find out from public sources, just by reading the newspapers, isn't it?
