George W. Bush, The Worst President in the History of Time, has been given a rare opportunity for some part of the mass media to provide him with free airtime under a respectable logo in order to put another coat of bullshit on his "legacy".
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Former President George W. Bush says his apparent lack of reaction to the first news of the September 11 2001 attacks was a conscious decision to project an aura of calm in a crisis.
So he gets to wax on about his 'aura of calm' while learning about the attacks on the WTC (which happened during his presidency) as we look at remembering the attacks 10 years on.
Get your anti-emetics and make the jump.
The pReznit lept into action...in his mind
"My first reaction was anger. Who the hell would do that to America? Then I immediately focused on the children, and the contrast between the attack and the innocence of children," Bush says in an excerpt of the interview shown to television writers on Thursday.
Leaping more valiantly,
"So I made the decision not to jump up immediately and leave the classroom. I didn't want to rattle the kids. I wanted to project a sense of calm," he said of his decision to remain seated and silent.
"I had caused been in enough crises to know that the first thing a leader has to do is to project calm," he added.
The story here, sine most of already know all this crap, is that he IS being given a powerful moment to put another coat of polish on his turd of a response to an incident his
negligence abetted.
And he will be given this access as if HE was doing THEM a favor.
I find it disgusting, but it is a primo example of how media is complicit with this unmitigated bullshit.
