White House Spin

White House spin may boomerang:

WASHINGTON (AP) ...

White House homeland security adviser Frances Fragos Townsend said Monday the administration welcomes and will cooperate with congressional inquiries into Katrina and its aftermath.

"But let's be clear about the facts," she said. "As you know, President Bush was highly engaged in the preparation and response effort, beginning when Katrina was a tropical storm off the coast of Florida."

I'm pretty sure that's a message that's not going to play to Peoria the way it's intended. If he was that highly engaged, then the fault for the screw up lies directly in his lap.
