A reporter asked Shrub to describe the leadership he would provide in
streamlining the various intelligence and law enforcement agencies.
After mumbling and stumbling per usual for a minute, Dubya came up with
this pearl: "I'm open to suggestions."

A great leader. No doubt about it.

**George,

Do you have a cite for this speech online?

TIA.

I witnessed it myself.

**Ah. I was hoping to be able to use it in an argument. Do you know of a
transcript online? I'd Google it, but I'm a bit of a lazy SOB.

Actually, it wasn't a speech, it was in W's meet-the-press on Tuesday,
April 13.

My favorite little Bush-ism from that meet and greet was his comment
about reporters putting him "under the spot".

Did anyone ever notice that Dubya never gave a direct answer to any
question? Notice how he rambled around in circles like Omarosa Rice after
each question (eating up each reporter's time with his answer, thus cutting
down the number of questions). You'd think that with the ability to
cherry-pick a handful of reporters for questions, and with a week to prepare
his responses, he could have at least answered *one* question. Instead, all
he did was regurgitate segments of his lengthy opening speech over and over
again in response to the few questions he got.

He really had my jaw dropping when he answered a question about how he never
seems to want to admit to ever making a mistake by rambling on about
visiting the families of wounded soldiers, then moved on to several other
utterly irrelevant topics, spewing the same propaganda and homilies he used
in his opening speech. It went on so long I was beginning to think he was
going to continue on into "star wars" and "colonizing Mars". He didn't.
What a disappointment. :-)

It isn't like he doesn't know what the questions will be.
The truth is he thinks we are too stupid to need an answer.
And that Rumsfeld guy... he comes to a news conference where he gets
accused of permitting and ordering prison abuses. He says he hasn't had
time to read the accusations and was only breifed on the pictures, never
actually looked at them.
And the reporters let him get away with that response.
I would have liked to ask why the breifing didn't include a few examples
- I mean there was 2000 of em.. certainly a frame or two were keepers no?
