“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Dumb AP headlines

How about "Bush urges Congress to save Soc. Security?" That implies that Social Security is in some sort of peril, doesn't it?

I mean, other than the peril caused by Bush and his plans.

But still, isn't it kinda slanted toward Bush and his rhetoric? If Bush said Ted Koppel killed a man would the headline be "Bush warns public of Ted Koppel terror," or "Bush goes crazy, accuses newsman of murder?" Isn't there a less partisan way to put it?

*UPDATE* The AP relents at some point, changing the headline to "Bush starts to sell Social Security plan." Better, thanks.
