actual things said by our president
I really could not tell the difference between a Saturday Night Live sketch and this morning's press conference, during which the president stuttered, talked in circles, and trailed off on his points, and which was punctuated by reaction shots (I swear to God) of the press corps. The graphic read, "NBC Special Report - White House Press Conference," but I expected them to change it to, "NBC Special Report - President Accidentally Wanders Into Briefing Room Drunk," because I could not see why this was newsworthy except for his utterly bad behavior. He used the word pirouation. If you're not familiar with that word, it's because it doesn't exist. Cut to the press corps chuckling nervously. Then there was the part where he off-handedly dismissed "the American people" as not understanding the "consequences" of anything, and the bitching about the Connecticut Republicans asking him to stay out of their Senate races. Also, an actual (paraphrased) exchange:
President: "People like to talk about the war in Iraq, but they forget 9/11, they killed three thousand of our citizens."
Reporter: "What did Iraq have to do with 9/11?"
President: "Nothing! And I never suggested they did! But that kind of regime breeds suiciders..."
That's right. Suiciders.
