The Times takes Bush to task

The New York Times editorial board ate its Wheaties before firing up the word processor for today's commentary.

After President Bush's disastrous visit to Latin America, it's unnerving to realize that his presidency still has more than three years to run. An administration with no agenda and no competence would be hard enough to live with on the domestic front. But the rest of the world simply can't afford an American government this bad for that long.

The rest of it is very good, too.
