Presidential Whining

President Bush needs to stop whining about the medial reporting his abuses of power. His latest attacks, of course, are on the New York Times (his administration singles out the Times even thought the Op-Ed conservative Wall Street Journal also outed his administration's financial data harvesting).

If the President was not acting as if his office gave him unregulated authority (see here), and not repeatedly ignoring evidence that runs counter to his theories rather than misleading the nation (see here), then oversight such as this by the media would not be necessary.

It would also not be so embarassing for him when it occurs.

It's becoming the case that when the President says that your behavior is "disgraceful," and the Vice-President says he is "outraged" by your actions, you should consider yourself to have done a good day's work.
