briefing.jpgDidn’t anyone tell Bush that it’s a SNOW DAY? No one’s at work! These poor reporters had to trudge through three inches of slush to listen to this nonsense!

The Bush/Blair Press Conference: The Lamest of Ducks

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

blairpc.jpgBush, on the Iraq Study Group: “I appreciated the fact that they laid out a series of recommendations, and they’re worthy of serious study… We agree that victory in a Iraq is important.”

Blair: “There are only two ways the middle east could go. The people could either be presented with the choice of a religious or secular dictatorship, or…” No, wait, there are three. Three ways the middle east could go!

These two could announce that they’re having a child together and it just wouldn’t matter to anyone.
