"1. That there is not much difference between 'compassionate conservatism' and Big Government Bureaucracy. And given what is likely to happen with the Rebuilding of N'Awlins, you ain't seen nothing yet.

"3. That the most compassionate President in American history would throw shameless cheapshots at his successor."
