Just what George Bush are we talking about?

The NYTimes, in the midst of an otherwise excellent editorial on the Postville, Iowa, meatpacking raids, has the following HUGE clunker:
The harsh prosecution at Postville is an odd and cruel shift for the Bush administration, which for years had voiced compassion for exploited workers and insisted that immigration had to be fixed comprehensively or not at all.

Even Bush I was forced to sign the family leave act under Congressional pressure.

Bush II was the president who had the EPA lie about conditions at 9/11 Ground Zero so workers inhaled asbestos.

Bush II was the president who gave massive tax cuts to the rich while opposing a minimum wage increase.
