so let's see here:
what you have is an effect of the largely republican practice of pooling the press, one pioneered by the reagan administraton and slavishly imitated by this sorry bunch---bush obviously has no experience being grilled because his handlers prevent it from happening. no surprise, folks.

tha bush himself gets pissy in a kind of irrational way when confronted with information and/or questions he does not like is also not a surprise if you have been following this administration and its titular head for any time with any degree of attention.
but it is good to be reminded when the occasion presents itself.

that information is tightly controlled coming from the white house: no surprise.
the problems emerge when that control breaks down: no surprise.
but it is good to be reminded, when the occasion presents itself.

that the lumpenconservatives who float around here have nothing to say about it that could possibly be confused with something of interest is obviously, and sadly, no surprise. that they would prefer to, once again, attack host is yet another index of the debased intellectual content of conservative discourse in general.

i think seaver's defense of bush is rooted in a bizarre identification with the person of george w bush which extends only so far as to set up the claim "if i dont know it, it is unreasonable to expect the president of the united states to know it".....a claim which is wholly insane: you, seaver, have no power. it does not matter, realy, what you know or do not know, any more than, from the same viewpoint, it matters what i know or do not know: but it bloody well does matter what the president of the united states knows and does not know because he, unlike you or i, is in a position to make many many people die on the basis of his particular beliefs about events in the world. how you can see tha george w bush does not know the first thing about sudan in a context where that country presents a fundamental humanitarian crisis is beyond absurd.

how conservatives find the ignorance of george w bush to be reassuring is a total mystery to me.
