Sweeping Dubya's lack of leadership under the rug

From the Fort Wayne (Ind.) Journal-Gazette:

Bush’s civil rights record

This reeks, even for Washington’s toxic partisan hijinks.

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights will not discuss a 180-page report on President Bush’s abysmal record on the subject of civil rights until after the election.

If you want to read the report, go to www.usccr.gov. Just don’t expect any one of the seven commissioners to talk about it.

Republican members of the commission so objected to the report’s timing that the commission voted 6-1 to withhold comment until Nov. 12.

“I think it’s an unfair report, and I think it’s a politically biased report, and I think its release at this time is politically motivated,” Commissioner Jennifer C. Braceras told The Associated Press.

Odd, one would think that the commissioner’s duty was to the people, not the president....

You gotta love good, solid common sense from the heartland.
