A Shining Moment From Last Night's News Conference
Bush really should think about trying out for the Los Angeles Dodgers...
Q Mr. President, why are you and the Vice President insisting on appearing together before the 9/11 Commission? And, Mr. President, who will you be handing the Iraqi government over to on June 30th?
THE PRESIDENT: We will find that out soon. That's what Mr. Brahimi is doing; he's figuring out the nature of the entity we'll be handing sovereignty over. And, secondly, because the 9/11 Commission wants to ask us questions, that's why we're meeting. And I look forward to meeting with them and answering their questions.
You can take this exchange one of two ways:
1.) Bush understood the question but didn't want to explain why he hasn't got the stones to meet with the 9-11 Commission on his own like a big boy.
OR
2.) Bush didn't understand the question, despite the fact that anyone with a 3rd grade education could.
Deciding whether your President is a coward or a moron is about as appealling a choice as deciding whether you'd rather get herpes or gonorrhea...
I love these news conferences!
