Bush Bashing: An Exercise in Mass Hysteria

I knew it. I knew it would happen. First, the bridge collapse has taken up the 24hr news cycle for THREE days. I realize it is dramatic and tragic, but three days? It's the summer of the shark all over again. The path of coverage was predictable. The first day was the actual news, although there were already inklings of what was to come. Then came the survey of other bridges around the country and the beginnings of the blame game. By today, it was all Bush's fault. Take today's Cafferty File. Next thing you know, they're going to say Bush and his Neocon cabal blew up the World Trade Center. But, oh, they've already done that, haven't they?
