...John Wayne movie," and he was right.) But this was the wrong time for spinning. When Bush listened to his p.r. team and worried about his image, he was at his worst. When he listened to his conscience, turned his back on evangelists Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, who had suggested that the bombings might be God's wrath on gays, lesbians, feminists and civil libertarians, he was becoming the kind of leader we need.
