Bravo, Mr. President

Just in time for midterm elections, Bush is finally making time—after five years of “scheduling conflicts”—to address the NAACP’s national convention.

"He has an important role to play, not only in making the case for civil rights, but maybe more importantly, the case for unity,’’ said White House spokesman Tony Snow. “Because as long as we have a nation that’s in any way divided along racial lines or where politics become a source of division rather one of civil debate and trying to perfect the democracy, that’s a problem.’’

Phew. Good one, Tony!

Divisiveness is “a problem”—wink wink, nudge nudge. Yeah, divisiveness is a problem for the GOP like having a whole day with—gosh darnit!—nothing to do is a problem for Mr. Shakes and me. We just can’t stand it! We can barely function! We weep at the mere thought of it! We tremble at the possibilities of exploiting such an evil endowment to fulfill our every desire!

Woe is the poor GOP who similarly finds themselves burdened with a nation divided. Poor Bush—he only wants to be a uniter! Can’t you feel his pain?

The stop at the NAACP convention has been a must-do for every president in the last 50 or so years, but this would be Bush's first.
Understandable. He’s been so busy with all the strategery and the decidings and the unitings. Presidenting is hard work, you know.
