Bush Reasserts Presidential Prerogatives


"President Bush set limits yesterday on White House cooperation in three political disputes, saying he is determined to assert presidential prerogatives on such matters as domestic eavesdropping and congressional inquiries into Hurricane Katrina."

His hilariously infuriating news conference yesterday was an exercise in stuttering, double-speak, and pure jibberish--all in an attempt to 'circumvent' (sorry, Bushy, the truth hurts) nearly every question he didn't like (which was the majority of them, as usual) and turn his non-answer into a diatribe of lies or, at best, nonsense about whatever it was he wanted to talk about (more lies).

Oh how I yearn for the press conferences of JFK.... It's hard to believe they took place in the same country.
