2. They've already attacked Clinton
after he called for leadership and coordination of relief efforts. Somehow, this kind of talk is out of line in GOP-land.

Earlier yesterday, White House spokesman Trent Duffy said the president was confident he could monitor events effectively without returning to Washington or making public statements in Crawford, where he spent part of the day clearing brush and bicycling. Explaining the about-face, a White House official said: "The president wanted to be fully briefed on our efforts. He didn't want to make a symbolic statement about 'We feel your pain.'"

Many Bush aides believe Clinton was too quick to head for the cameras to hold forth on tragedies with his trademark empathy. "Actions speak louder than words," a top Bush aide said, describing the president's view of his appropriate role.

5. Also from the Post
Skeptics said the initial aid sums as well as Bush's decision at first to remain cloistered on his Texas ranch for the Christmas holiday rather than speak in person about the tragedy showed scant appreciation for the magnitude of suffering and for the rescue and rebuilding work facing such nations as Sri Lanka, India, Thailand and Indonesia.

Now I always thought cloistered was something nuns did

8. They Mocked Him Already. Does that count?
Though I was dreaming when I heard the idiot guest host on Rush today saying "* is a man of action, not words".
