In announcing this week the resignation of White House spokesman Scott McClellan, President Bush made a lame attempt at humor: "One of these days," said the president, "he and I are going to be rocking in chairs in Texas and talking about the good old days."

What "good old days" would those be?

The ones where U.S. soldiers are dying on a foreign field in a war and occupation that seemingly have no end? Or maybe the ones where Americans are facing a summer where gas prices are expected to spike at better than $3 per gallon?

Perhaps the president is referring to the "good old days" for those folks who are refugees from the Gulf Coast, who are living in trailers and worse, still desperately trying to rebuild lives destroyed by Mother Nature and by an inattentive White House. <snip>
