Articles criticizing the Bush White House in the mainstream media are as refreshing as they are rare. But though I am grateful for your 4/25 "Bushworld" editorial, I feel obligated to make a minor criticism.

You compare Bush and Cheney appearing together at the 9/11 commission hearings to an appearance by the Olsen twins. But the while the twins have proven themselves capable of thinking and speaking independently of each other, Bush has proven himself incapable of spontaneously answering spontaneous questions. I therefore think your paragraph should have read, "In Bushworld, it's perfectly natural for the president and vice president to appear before the 9/11 commission like Shari Lewis and Lambchop."
