Jack Kelly Talks Sense
Pittsburg paper columnist and blogger, Jack Kelly, has a column today I hope the President's staff, at least, reads. Here are the parts I think are true:
President Bush caused himself no end of grief when he apologized for saying in his 2003 state of the union address "the British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa," even though every word of it was true.
That blunder may have been topped by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales at his news conference last Wednesday. The "senior Justice Department official" who told reporters Mr. Gonzales' performance was "disastrous" was being kind.
Memo to the President--apologize for errors, defend the truth no matter how unpopular and stand with those who stand by you, like Scooter. You will gain nothing by agreeing with the left, but further disdain and criticism from them and the growing doubts from disgust with spinelessness from your base. But perhaps that's just me.
