Port Deal - Boxing a slow bush's Ears from the Left AND Right

Sen. Charles E. Schumer, an outspoken liberal Democrat from New York, two weeks ago began publicly denouncing a deal to let a Middle Eastern firm take over terminal operations at six U.S. seaports. From the other end of the political spectrum, even more outspoken conservative radio host Michael Savage was doing the same -- and recruiting Republican lawmakers to his cause.

It was on Feb. 13 that the Dubai Ports World deal -- after simmering unnoticed for months in the federal bureaucracy and the transportation trade press -- started to boil, as a result of Savage's blustery on-air alarms and an event by Schumer at the New York harbor with families who lost loved ones on Sept. 11, 2001.

It was not until Feb. 16 that Bush was informed by aides of the controversy -- and that his own administration had approved the port deal a month earlier. It was not until five days after that, on Feb. 21, that Bush spoke up in support of the port deal. By then, dozens of prominent lawmakers in both parties had joined Savage and Schumer in questioning the president's commitment to national security.

So he was tardy in responding to us getting attacked on 9/11, he was tardy on Katrina and he was tardy with our security in the port deal. He used to own the Texas Rangers right? Has he ever heard of three strikes?

Then again maybe we should let him go with two since he was nowhere near tardy when he said "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq. He might be a good 10 or 15 years early for all we know.
