The Ongoing Fraud

Continuing a media lie first noted here Friday, the Washington Post has reported:
<<<
Amid a surge of denunciations from political leaders in both parties, President Bush agreed yesterday that the results of his administration's response to Hurricane Katrina have been "not acceptable" and flew to the storm-ravaged Gulf Coast for a day-long tour of the devastation.
>>>
The denunciations have come from the usual list of anti-Bushies looking to steal political chits from a disaster, helped along by the Associated Press Friday and the WashPost today:
<<<
Bush, who almost never publicly acknowledges mistakes, paid deference to the rage yesterday with a rare concession that his administration's efforts fell short in the opening days of the crisis. "The results are not acceptable," he told reporters on the South Lawn before leaving the White House for his tour of afflicted areas. He added: "We'll get on top of this situation, and we're going to help people that need help."
>>>
It's a "known fact" amongst the MSM that the Administration is stubborn, never admitting mistakes. The MSM oozes with this, leaving an unsuspecting consumer of their information with a vivid picture of a malevolent President smirking and screaming, "Neener-neener-neener!"
The President did not concede "that his administrations fell short in the opening days of the crisis." He said merely that he deemed the results of the efforts were "not acceptable," meaning local, State, and Federal. He did not single-out for implication his own Administration.
These folks are playing a lazy game of gotcha with a horrible disaster. Thousands of lives have been lost, tens of thousands have been displaced, and they're so concerned with catching the Bush Administration in a mistake that they must fabricate an admission.
What does the country do when the "watchdog" is perpetrating an ongoing fraud? Toss 'em a biscuit .
