"Aides: Bush felt duty to denounce Lott

"President Bush's decision to rebuke GOP Senate leader Trent Lott publicly over comments that seemingly endorsed segregation came because the president felt an obligation to speak out, aides said Thursday." --CNN.com

The Orwellian spin from this administration never stops, does it?

"This is a matter of right and wrong that the president felt he simply had to address" -- that's not a direct quote, but that, in effect, is what the aides are saying. But if he felt an "obligation," why the hell did it take him so long to fulfill it?

The network of right-wing ass-kisser Walter Isaacson leads with precisely the spin the Bushies want.
