Sarasota principal defends Bush from "take charge" Moore...
When the attacks on September 11th were unfolding, many recall the pictures of the moments when President Bush was first hearing of the terrorist attacks. Bush was at a Florida school reading to kids as the information began to arrive detailing the scope of the days horror.
It's de rigueur among the tinfoil hat brigade, Michael Moore commanding, to charge the President with feeble disconnectedness from events that morning. Their phony consternation suggests they expected Bush to bolt into the street with a milspec field radio and Stinger shoulder-fired missile in order to personally bring down the offending aircraft. But the school principal has said the Bush response was pitch perfect.
Perhaps those who find Bush's immediate reaction the only thing that day worthy of their continued resolved outrage would have preferred the President run around flailing his arms in a panic...
