This has been a hard day. Not least because it is a very political day.
Despite what anyone might be saying, I feel that all the coverage is primary to help the Republican Party in the November elections. Rhetoric does not save lives or provide funding for flood control. As someone said to me yesterday; " Bush is as much a war president as Neville Chamberlain could have ended up being a WWII prime Minister". I will be glad for this day to have passed.
