Flip-Floppers

Since everyone else is so busy using "finger-pointing" and "blame-gaming," I'm going to resurrect some Republican spin-slogan-eering from last year. CNN reports that the Bush administration have flip-flopped on preventing journalists from entering New Orleans, rather than deal with the lawsuit.

Rather than fight a lawsuit by CNN, the federal government abandoned its effort Saturday to prevent the media from reporting on the recovery of the dead in New Orleans.

More cynical minds (Baltar?) might think that the administration decided to let the journalists in after preliminary body counts showed that the death toll is not nearly as high as predicted, and therefore will not make Bush Co. look as bad. Optimists might think the administration caught a conscience about respecting the first amendment. Not me. Nope. I think they are just flip-floppers!
