The Missing Snark

Last month, I wrote that President Bush’s foremost failure of leadership was failing to respond to attacks and to go over the heads of the media to make his own case to the American people.  Today, Gabriel Malor at Ace’s covers the White House’s new-found enthusiasm for defending itself, in this case against a NYT piece blaming W for the housing meltdown:

[A] White House spokesman just suggested to FOXNews that the White House recognizes that the NY Times has fallen on hard times and may not have the resources to do original reporting! Paraphrasing: “I don’t know if the Times’ junk bond rating is causing a lack of reporting or whether their lack of reporting has caused their junk bond rating.” Heh.

Could have used some of that snark during the past eight years, no?

Amen.
