On the road:

E. J. Dionne Jr. writes about Bush's bad week and how the administration is on the defensive - mainly about the Niger-yellowcake story. (He says, "The president's free ride is over.") We can't help but wonder if the administration is having a harder time with the PR because so many of them are traveling with the president. It's got to be harder to coordinate a response when everybody is scattered hither and yon. Therefore, we encourage Bush to travel overseas more often.
