Quote of the Day

In fact, the greater long-range consequence of the events in Asia gives the Leader of the Free World and the Commander in Chief another extended opportunity to sit astride the world look tough and compassionate at the same time.

(Which doesn't mean that one has to TRY in order to get political benefit even in — especially in — a moment of human tragedy. But the presidency is a political office — something we learned a while ago.)

And, as best we can tell, the Democratic Party (such as it is) will simply nitpick and criticize on an ad hoc basis, bringing the same carping, themeless-pudding approach to disaster relief that it brought to most everything in 2004.
