From thisarticle:
The proposal was designed largely by just four of President Bush’s most trusted senior aides, meeting for 10 days in a bunker-style, secure conference room beneath the White House.
This mythmaking stuff makes me ill. They had the plan for 14-months. They dismissed it out-of-hand back then, and now, when it is politically expedient, they are calling it their own.
I wonder what Gary Hart and Warren Rudman (and even Newt Gingrich for that matter) think of all this posturing?

And I wonder how long it took the Hart-Rudman team…which was comprised of *14* experts…took to develop their report. Far longer than 10 days I would imagine.

What does bunker bunkum actually mean?

Simon,
It means that last year’s myth about Bush Administration staffers huddling in a bunker to create Bush’s “bold” Homeland Security plan was a load of crap. They pretty much lifted the thing from a report written by Gary Hart and Warren Rudman.
