The tone has been set by the same culprits
Well-known for their constant and extreme anti-Bush rhetoric. The "partisanship" (if you define that as anti- or pro-Bush) that has "erupted" has been consistently on one side and the other side has hardly been praising how perfectly Bush has handled the catastrophe New Orleans. Let's not go for this wishy-washy "there's blame on all sides" line of thought or some other rubbish, when the same agitators are initiating the same partisanshit (sic) again and again.
