Q&A, The Bonus Edition
Posted on January 16th, 2005 by
Norbizness provides a codensed version of Bush’s interview with the Washington Post here. We were especially struck by this section:
The Post: Will you talk to Senate Democrats about your privatization plan?
THE PRESIDENT: PERSONAL SAVINGS ACCOUNTS.
The Post: Yes, exactly. Scott has been —
THE PRESIDENT: We don’t want to be editorializing, at least in the questions.
The Post: You used partial privatization yourself last year, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: The fuck I did.
The Post: Yes, three times in one sentence. Mike Allen, the industrious Mike Allen, found it.
THE PRESIDENT: Allen did what now? (not a shortening or alteration)
Maybe the President should tell his web site:
Nice ‘gotcha’, Seb.
And BTW, we shouldn’t miss a chance to use the word ‘piratize’ whenever we can.
Re: Mentioning the privitization of Social Security (emphasis mine):
I’m really wowed by Bush and his never-ceasing diarrhea-of-the-mouth pointless jabber. I’m sorry, ‘it’s amazing what happens when your tired’?? The hell?
“Oh, I invaded Iraq for no reason and lied about it? I must have been tired.”
“Oh, I’ve been stealing rights from citizens for years? Ha ha, boy, I must have been tired.”
“Oh, I’ve been disenfranchising millions of Americans? Wow.. I can’t believe I was that tired.”
Someone give me a gun, please. Or just shoot me in the head for me. I can’t believe this is the man America re-elected.
Remember, it’s not what he said that counts, it’s what he says he said that matters.
Aaagh! Close the italics tag!
Er.. I did close it (check the source code). Firefox is wacky sometimes, if that’s what you’re using.
Yes.. I agree ..8
