The New York Times: Opinion
Bush's budget goes three-for-three this morning on the Times op-ed page. Jack Lew, Bob Herbert, and (proving once again that I can't quite figure the guy out) William Safire all come out and blast the tax cut proposal that Bush introduced Tuesday on his "not the State of the Union" address. We'll see what the Dems on the hill say on Sunday. Gephardt, Daschle and Byrd have all come out harshly. It's all in the message packaging, so we'll see if they can fashion a better message than the "leave no child behind" line from the right.
