The thing I find most endearing about the Bush White House (and when I say “endearing,” I mean “compelling me to tear someone’s ears off”) is that they’ve turned the whole concept of the press conference on it’s head. In the Bush White House, important things like spying on Americans, fudging the case for a war, eliminating Habeas Corpus and other stuff happens when no one’s looking.
Press conferences are for gathering everyone together and telling them shit they already know:
Bush holds news conference – Yahoo! News
WASHINGTON – President Bush is going on the offensive against growing Republican defections against his war strategy in Iraq. He scheduled a news conference Thursday to urge Congress to give his plan time to work.
Oh! You mean President Bush expects “Da Surge” to work? No shit.
