Bush's latest abuse of power fails to rouse the Washington media

Within hours of the testimony of Richard Clarke, the former
counterterrorism chief, before the 9/11 commission, where Clarke
discussed how resources spent on the Iraq war undermined the war on
terrorism, President Bush acknowledged that Saddam Hussein's weapons
of mass destruction - the rationale for the war - remained absent.
Bush's admission took the form of a comic monologue before about 1,000
black-tied members of the Radio and TV Correspondents' Association
gathered for its annual dinner. The lights dimmed and Bush presented a
slide show of himself peering out of windows and looking under
furniture in the Oval Office. "Those weapons of mass destruction have
got to be somewhere ... nope, no weapons over there ... maybe under
here?"
