Ladies And Gentlemen, Your Preznit

Two points from President Irrelevant's news conference today that may send whatever's sitting next to you hurling through the window, so make sure it's open.

Number one:

Maybe people didn't pay much attention to President Bush's presser today, but he did say this regarding the incursion of Iraq by Turkey:

"The Turks need to move quickly, achieve their objective, and get out."

Quite an astonishing statement, as we head into the sixth year of our own objective.

Of course, we're fighting for freem, and fighting the terrists, and you must want Al Qaeda to win.

Number two:

Responding to this reporter's questions at a White House news conference today, Mr. Bush said he had not heard about analysts' predictions of the potential for $4-a-gallon gas later this spring when refiners re-formulate fuel blends for summer driving.

This has kind of been all over the news. Those who actually fill their tanks on a regular basis know all about it, even if it hasn't punctured the bubble.

Just interesting that someone could be running the country and so detached from it - and from the consequences of his own policies - at the same time.
