What a Dick
Your president (not mine, I now live in a disused log cabin in DodgyLand, an hour west of Toronto; hence my lamentable absence) put on quite a show today at his first press conference in 34 years. Here are my favorite parts, collected from other blogs around the web.
When asked whether or not he would promise to have troops out of Iraq in a year, he accused the reporter of asking “a trick question.”
Here’s another funny exchange:
The coup de grace, however, was his blaming the crew of the USS Lincoln for putting up the “Mission Accomplished” banner the night he declared major combat over.
Of course, this has since been summarily disproved. I'm glad I didn't watch any news tonight. Fire. FIRE!

REPORTER: Secondly, can you promise a year from now that you'll have reduced the number of troops in Iraq?
SHRUB: The second question is a trick question, so I won't answer it.
Here’s another funny exchange:
Q: Thank you, sir. Mr. President, your policies on the Middle East seem, so far, to have produced pretty meager results as the violence between Israelis and Palestinians --
THE PRESIDENT: Major or meager?
Q: Meager.
THE PRESIDENT: Oh, okay.
Q: Meager.
THE PRESIDENT: Meager.
