Your one question for Bush

[U of M Dem 07]

Today at school, I was walking out of the Union after lunch, and a lady from NPR's All Things Considered (91.7 FM in Detroit) approached my friend and me. She said something to the extent of "George Bush has a press conference tonight. If you could ask him one question, what would it be?"

So I'm wondering what your questions would be. I had about 30 seconds to come up with an intelligent-sounding question... so what would you say?

[trotsky]

1. Why weren't fighter jets scrambled on 9/11?

That seems to be the biggest "Whaa...?" about that day.

6. some were

according to Richard Clarke

[ET Awful]

2. I'd ask him why he would say:

"Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent. Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike?"

in regard to Iraq, but but the PDB of August 6, 2001 could be ignored because "There was nothing there that said, you know, 'There's an imminent attack.'"

3. Where is your friend James R. Bath, who was grounded from flying

the same time you were? He was very close to you and your family for many, many years, even scoring you Salem bin Laden's seed money for Arbusto Oil. He dropped out of the picture after getting into trouble during the BCCI scandal that almost touched your Dad. So where is he now?

4. Isn't it about time you left?

5. Why are you such a fucking asshole?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

8. Excellent question!

But he'd probably have you arrested for assaulting him with harsh language.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

9. that's fine

I get my point across by flipping off the White House every day. :evilgrin:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

18. Haha! I do that too......

It's soooooo satisfying!

[KamaAina]

7. How do you sleep at night knowing you stole the election?

I mean, don't you have nightmares where thousands and thousands of chads are chasing you around Palm Beach County?

Isn't that why you sleep with a night light?

10. Do you

care anything at all about the middle class and poor people in our country?

[lebkuchen]

11. In May 2000 you put Cheney in charge of the domestic terrorism agency

umbrella'd under FEMA. Colin Powell testified before Congress at that time on issues related to terrorism.

With our top government officials' attention focused on terrorism before 9/11, how is it possible for such an intricate attack to have taken place without you knowing about it beforehand?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

12. "How would same-sex marriage threaten your marriage?"

"Please give a detailed response."

13. Isn't it about time your mama weaned you?

14. "What would you like for your last meal?"

after his war crimes tribunal.

[damnraddem]

15. When will you resign?

Related question: how many members of your administration will you pardon first before resigning?

16. How can you be do stupid and still be only one person?

17. What were you doing in Alaska in the 70's and why doesn't anyone

talk about that time.
