Bush: "I Made A Name By Being Compassionate"

[Dracos]

President Bush said this morning that a full schedule had, alas, so far prevented him from following any of the Congressional debate on the troop escalation in Iraq.

"In terms of watching the debate, I've got a lot to do," he told C-SPAN. "I've had meetings up until now."

After being apprised that the debate had not actually started yet -- and wouldn't until Tuesday, after yet another delay -- he laughed and said, "I've got a lot to do tomorrow," too, as luck would have it.

Anyway, he had a pretty good idea of what he would hear if he did listen, he said, and laughed again, as he did throughout what would have otherwise not seemed a particularly jolly interview.

Yet he also seemed to have an old-fashioned case of ants in his pants, and at one point jumped in to mock a question before understanding what he was being asked.

When the interviewer made a reference to "Goldwater Republicans," and "Rockefeller Republicans," he chuckled -- his word -- and stopped the questioner from finishing his thought.

"I'm just chuckling because I think 'Goldwater Republicans' and 'Rockefeller Republicans' are pretty far past," the president said. "That's rude of me to chuckle, but I would be cautious about stereotyping philosophies."

6. Well said!

And very sad that it has come to this. Sort of makes you wish Goldwater's ghost could come and scare Bush right now, doesn't it?

2. just like the way he commented about the FISA law, this idiot

has no respect for the rules of law, so if he said this about the Goldwater Republicans just imagine what he thinks about the Constitution or any other document that has been the cornerstone of society. I hate the man absolutely hate him his arrogance/ignorance is stunning.

3. Which he means just the opposite of. So what he is thinking is how

much misery and destruction he has brought to this world. How typical of a moran.

4. Yeah, It's hip to be square ... blah blah blah

5. He is getting more delusional every day.

I don't see how it can keep going on for two more years.
He may have a total breakdown.
