Bush criticized for silence, hypocrisy
Non-response to school shooting contrasted with the Simian Sockpuppet's intervention in the white woman Schiavo case
Native Americans across the country - including tribal leaders, academics and rank-and-file tribe members - voiced anger and frustration Thursday that [Squinty McStupid] has responded to the second-deadliest school shooting in US history with silence.
The reaction to Bush's silence was particularly bitter given his high-profile, late-night intervention on behalf of Terri Schiavo.
"The fact that Bush preempted his vacation to say something about Ms. Schiavo and here you have 10 native people gunned down and he can't take time to speak is very telling."
The Minnesota tragedy has increased alarm among some school safety professionals about Bush's efforts to eliminate funding for two major programs meant to prevent classroom violence, including a Clinton administration initiative to help schools hire more police officers.
Bush's aggressive response to Schiavo and virtual silence on the shootings has led critics to accuse him of political opportunism.
