Sigh

Good old George. Day late, dollar short. The Red Lake shooting was Monday, as in five days ago. Reuters (03.26.05):

"President Bush broke his public silence on Saturday about the deadliest U.S. school shooting in six years, touting the government's response 'at this tragic time' after some American Indian leaders complained he paid little attention to the rampage. Bush's delayed public reaction to the shooting stood in contrast to his swift and high-profile intervention earlier this week to try to prolong the life of Terri Schiavo, a brain-damaged woman in Florida whose feeding tube was removed." Bush Decries School Rampage; Critics Question Delay

QOTD, from Clyde Bellecourt, founder and national director of the American Indian Movement in Red Lake: "'(The President) does not have any problems flying in to restore the feeding tube to Terri Schiavo. I'm sure if this happened in some school in Texas and a bunch of white kids were shot down, he would have been there too.'"
