Trusting George Bush...

Conservatives are being told by GOP water carriers to "trust the President" and his choice of Harriet Meiers to be the next Supreme Court justice.

In today's column, Pat Buchanan claims:

• White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan drove the knife in: "The president believes the (Bennett) comments were not appropriate."

Of course, one should remember what the response to Pat Robertson's comments about a potential assassination of Hugo Chavez. Essentially, McLellan suggested that Robertson's commentary as a private citizen are of his own volition, and the White House need not address them.

Why Bennett but not Robertson?
