Some in the media finally grow a pair.

Evidently Anderson Cooper has joined the reality-based world. Here's part of what he said to Mary Landrieu (a Democrat) after she just praised the Prez.

Think Progress -- Cooper to Landrieu: Americans Want Answers: "Senator, IÂ?m sorryÂ? for the last four days, I have been seeing dead bodies here in the streets of Mississippi and to listen to politicians thanking each other and complimenting each other Â? I have to tell you, there are people here who are very upset and angry, and when they hear politicians thanking one another, it just, you know, it cuts them the wrong way right now, because there was a body on the streets of this town yesterday being eaten by rats because this woman has been laying in the street for 48 hours, and there is not enough facilities to get her up. Do you understand that anger?"

Now is not the time to suck up to Bush. Now is the time to insist taht he, for the first time since he became President, actually do something competently.
