You Are Your Own Best Critic

Columnist Charles Krauthammer had lots of praise for President Bush's second inaugural speech. He said such glowing things as "It was a revolutionary speech...to speak essentially about the abolition of tyranny...can only be spoken of as radical."

High praise, considering Mr Krauthammer consulted with the Bush administration on how to write the speech. Mr Krauthammer forgot to mention that in his critique on Fox News.

Mr Krauthammer was one of ten people invited to the White House on January 10. His column's distributor -- the Washington Post Writer's Group -- issued a statement saying the commentator didn't see the visit as an exercise in speech writing.

Liberal watchdog group Media Matters for America also says columnist and commentator William Kristol also consulted on President Bush's speech and failed to mention his involvement while praising it. (Editor & Publisher)
