DER SPIEGEL ON BUSH'S PRIORITIES

The influential German newsweekly Der Spiegel has picked up on Bush's slight of NATO in favor of his daughters' graduation ceremonies, here.

If President Bush doesn't want the burdens of being President any longer, there are a lot of smart, talented, and dedicated people who would be willing to fill in for him.

Man, what a lightweight.

MORE: Compare Bush's dedication to his own family with this scathing (and expressly anti-Bush) attack on Bush as the "anti-family President" by Bill Kauffman. Even if you don't think that Kauffman's essay is fair, it's hard not to be struck by the contradiction between what President Bush allows himself and what he asks of others.
