Sadly Ironic Quote of the Day

This gem comes to us from David Ignatius column in today's WaPo. The topic: the upcoming G-20 financial summit. Here's the quote:
Bush administration officials support some items in this package, but they are wary of the unintended consequences of new regulations -- particularly ones that are rushed through during a crisis.

Source.
See, I thought the Bush administration, the same one that declared war on a tactic and then used the "I'm a wartime President" excuse to curtail civil liberties, justify torturing and holding detainees indefinitely without a hearing, passing the USAPATRIOT Act, passing a $700 billion dollar bailout that gives god-like power to the Secretary of the Treasury, etc., etc., etc., thrives on crisis-mode.

Guess I was wrong.
