Last week Our Great Leader held a press conference in the Rose Garden
at the White House.
And yes, he got crapped on by a bird.

But believe it or not, that wasn't the shittiest part of the press
conference.
Take this exchange with David Gregory, for example:

GREGORY:
Mr. President, after the mistakes that have been made in this war,
when you do as you did yesterday, where you raised two-year-old
intelligence, talking about the threat posed by al Qaeda, it's met
with increasing skepticism.
The majority in the public, a growing number of Republicans, appear
not to trust you any longer to be able to carry out this policy
successfully.
Can you explain why you believe you're still a credible messenger on
the war?
CAPTAIN GUANO:
I'm credible because I read the intelligence, David, and make it
abundantly clear in plain terms that if we let up, we'll be attacked.
And I firmly believe that.
Okay, question:
if George W. Bush wants us to believe that he's credible because he
reads the intelligence, what are we supposed to make of this?

U.S. intelligence agencies warned senior members of the Bush
administration in early 2003 that invading Iraq could create
instability that would give Iran and al Qaeda new opportunities to
expand their influence, according to an upcoming Senate report.
Officials familiar with the Senate Intelligence Committee
investigation also say analysts warned against U.S. domination in the
region, which could increase extremist recruiting.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the report's
declassification is not finished.
It could be made public as soon as this week.
The committee also found that the warnings predicting what would
happen after the U.S.-led invasion were circulated widely in
government, including to the Pentagon and the Office of the Vice
President.
It wasn't clear whether President Bush was briefed.
So, er, not credible at all then.
