In The Wake Of VA Tech

Upon seeing President Bush's response to the tragedy of Virginia Tech, I was reminded of the Season Four, Episode Two of my very favorite TV show; The West Wing, when a deadly tragedy at an Iowa college prompted a heartfelt speech by President Bartlet. I quickly popped in my DVD and watched the scene.

Then, Adam Conner over at MyDD read my mind and posted this.
