More problems for Mr. Bush as his "compassionate conservative" title gets whittled down to just "conservative" yet again. "U.S. Commission on Civil Rights Assails Bush Administration Record on Civil Rights" refers to a lengthy draft report that churns out in footnoted detail how Bush "has neither exhibited leadership on pressing civil rights issues nor taken actions that matched his words" requotes Michael Janofsky of the New York Times. The draft, prepared by the commission staff, accuses Mr. Bush of civil rights failures in education, voting, gay and lesbian issues, affirmative action, housing, environmental justice, racial profiling and hate crimes and concludes by saying, "Failing to build on common ground, the Bush administration missed opportunities to build consensus on key civil rights issues and has instead adopted policies that divide Americans."
