Now we know why Dubya doesn't have many "news conferences."
I was with a bunch of "Bushies" last night, and, of course, sports
programing was on every available TV.
But, when the time came for the news conference I insisted that at
least one TV stay tuned to Dubya.
The Bushies all groaned!
When Dubya started talking the Bushies looked bored and dejected.
They protested: "Nobody is actually watching this!"
And, of course, with all of the sports programing; from snow boarding
to golf, on other networks, they were right!
I held my ground.
The Bushies drifted away to other TVs, all tuned to the sports
programs.
I held my ground, and listened to Dubya ramble on and on and on.
Doesn't he ever say: "Next Question?"
Dubya reminded me of an eight grader, who was playing video games all
nite, and then, when asked to recite his "homework" the next day,
trys to "fake it" by talking endlessly about what ever pops into his
head.
But when you have dogma, who needs facts. Slogans will do. Compleat
and connected sentences are really unnecessary.
But the Bushies didn't care. They weren't even watching!
One Bushie walked by and said: "You know nobody's watching this
ANYWHERE!"
I looked up, and said: "I know."
