Remember Jennifer Loven? She's the Associated Press "reporter" who gets to write liberal opinion pieces and call them news. (See (http://www.opinionjournal.com/best/?id=110002776#loven)and (http://www.opinionjournal.com/best/?id=110008131#straw) for earlier examples.) Loven's latest is on the State of the Union: New Orleans is still a mess and the pace of recovery across the Gulf Coast from Hurricane Katrina's strike remains achingly slow after 17 months. But none of this captured President Bush's attention on the year's biggest night for showcasing policy priorities. In the president's State of the Union speech last year, delivered just five months after the disaster, the devastation merited only 156 words out of more than 5,400. On Tuesday night, the president spoke for almost exactly as long before a joint session of Congress. But Katrina received not a single mention. One could easily say the same thing about many other topics, so why does Loven pick Katrina? Plainly because she thinks it is something the president should have discussed--which is to say, this is no more than an opinion piece. opinionjournal.com
