Howard hits hard

Do yourself a favor and read John Howard's response to a journalist's suggestion that the London terror attacks were brought about by the conflict in Iraq. If only President Bush could speak in such a clear and explicit manner?

UPDATE: Speaking of politicians lifting the veil of diplomacy and speaking their mind, check out this exchange between Orrin Hatch and Chuckie Schumer during John Robert's 2003 confirmation hearing. That kind of talk shouldn't have a place in the halls of Congress, but it's pretty damn funny.

And one last, unrelated note - Largebill has the details on a resolution on that "no-Catholics" policy at a Mississippi adoption service.

How come the guys who aren't leading our country so much better at explaining these things than the guy who is?

Presidents are leaders, not teachers. Although elocution is invaluable and appreciated in leadership positions, it's not necessary to lead.
