Today on Today, the Commander in Chief, the President of our great United States of America was asked by NBC's Brian Williams about the
Newsweek cover story entitled "Bush in the Bubble", which offers some helpful analysis; such as:
Bush may be the most isolated president in modern history.
and
What Bush actually hears and takes in, however, is not clear. And whether his advisers are quite as frank as they claim to be with the president is also questionable.
Given the opportunity to definitively address these radical leftist notions, Mr. Bush, as we all might expect, hardly rose to the occasion.
Pithy quotes of the interview on the flip.
The Newsweek cover, by the way, shows a cartoon Bush (how appropriate is that?) trapped in a cartoon soap bubble.
Dan Froomkin's column in the Washington Post has a transcript, including these jewels:
Williams: "... Time Magazine says you're out there talking to people, and Newsweek says you're in here not talking to people. So what is the truth, Mr. President?"
Bush: "Well, I'm talking to you. You're a person."
Williams: "This says you're in a bubble, you have a very small circle of advisers now."
Bush: "Yeah."
Williams: "Is that true?"
Bush: "Uh."
Williams. "Do you feel in a bubble?"
Bush: "No, I don't feel in a bubble. I mean, you feel in a bubble in the sense that I can't go walking out the front gate and go shopping, like I'd love to do for my wife -- although I'm a man, I'm not going to tell you what I'm gonna buy her.".
What an IDIOT! I mean, is this not just utterly appalling that all this FOOL can do is deflect and babble absurdities?! How do they ever let him go out in public without a script?!
