Wesley Pruden at His Wry Best

It is my view that there is simply no better editorial page editor in the newspaper business than Wesley Pruden of the Washington Times. (Oh, and yes, he IS on the conservative side -- but not a knee-jerk or any other kind of jerk, for that matter.)

Mr. Pruden brings a subtly dry and wry sense of irony to his columns. His column of today (09/06) exposing for what they are the tawdry MSM and Democratic efforts to use the Katrina catastrophe to paint President Bush in a bad light is simply unsurpassed.

As I am confident that no one who has seriously perused this blog will ever accuse me of being a "bushbot" -- which is a "Free Republic" term for a slavish Bush supporter -- I hope that visitors to this blog will not treat this posting overly casually. I am posting this article in support of Bush, because there is simply no excuse for the legion of MSM shills and Democratic hacks who have savaged Bush for his handling of Katrina -- even while rescue efforts were/are still underway.

I am particularly pleased with Mr. Pruden's apt characterization of the Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton as "our self-appointed twin ambassadors of ill will". (So shabby has been the blatant race-baiting behavior of this ordained duo in connection with Katrina that they have unleashed a virtual torrent of hostile reaction on talk radio and in the conservative blogs in the past few days.)

Anyway, enough about Mr. Pruden's piece: Just please follow the link and read it.
