Can't you get Air America? Do you think I could make that stuff up, even as weird as I am? I've got news for you; life is even weirder than the Rat; shoot, even you are weirder than the Rat. I don't drink very well any more; I could probably get thru about 2 beers B4 I fall asleep, so, had I known of the game, and had I been watching and playing, I probably would have had to take "Global Warming".

If Bush Can't Handle a Question About Sammy Sosa, How Can He Handle America's National Security? There's No Script for Defending America, and Every Bush TV Appearance is Scripted, Even His So-Called News Conferences, With the Reporters Serving as Pawns. A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS BuzzFlash Note: More than once, BuzzFlash has reflected upon the fact that Bush's so-called "news conferences" are literally scripted events, where he has a list of reporters to call upon. Bush has made reference to this, with nervous explanations in the past, when something "unexpected" comes up from a reporter. There are even reports that he is given written questions in advance. From last night's news conference, here is Bush again referring to the structured arrangement of his so-called news conference, which is really just a television appearance with the press corps serving as props. From a BuzzFlash Reader: If Bush considers a press conference "pressure", what does he do, let's say, when terrorists attack the US? Oh, right...hangs out at an elementary school reading a goat book to kids. He still has that mentality, as he obviously hates 'pop quizzes': "Q In the last campaign, you were asked a question about the biggest mistake you'd made in your life, and you used to like to joke that it was trading Sammy Sosa. You've looked back before 9/11 for what mistakes might have been made. After 9/11, what would your biggest mistake be, would you say, and what lessons have you learned from it? THE (p)RESIDENT: I wish you would have given me this written question ahead of time, so I could plan for it. (Laughter.) John, I'm sure historians will look back and say, gosh, he could have done it better this way, or that way. You know, I just -- I'm sure something will pop into my head here in the midst of this press conference, with all the pressure of trying to come up with an answer, but it hadn't yet...", Liz Additional BuzzFlash Note: The scariest thing for America is that more than 40% of Americans are willing to vote for America's village idiot. Bush gets a question that he's not prepped for and he has no coherent answer, even when it is about the so-called "defining" moment in his stolen presidency. We will say it again. You can't support George Bush and care about the security or future of our country. Because if you think you do -- and you defend him -- then you are a fool who enables a man who is a threat to our national security -- and is lighting matches that are setting the world afire. buzzflash.com
