Helen Thomas, who in January grumbled that President Bush was a "coward"
for
not calling on her at a press conference, today was granted a question
for
the first time in several years. The doyenne of the White House press
corps,
who once called Bush the worst president in U.S. history, seized her
chance
with gusto, essentially debating Bush instead of questioning him. Here's
the
transcript:

THE PRESIDENT: Helen. After that brilliant performance at the Grid Iron,
I
am -- (laughter.)

Q You're going to be sorry. (Laughter.)

THE PRESIDENT: Well, then, let me take it back. (Laughter.)

Q I'd like to ask you, Mr. President, your decision to invade Iraq has
caused the deaths of thousands of Americans and Iraqis, wounds of
Americans
and Iraqis for a lifetime. Every reason given, publicly at least, has
turned
out not to be true. My question is, why did you really want to go to war?
From the moment you stepped into the White House, from your Cabinet --
your
Cabinet officers, intelligence people, and so forth -- what was your real
reason? You have said it wasn't oil -- quest for oil, it hasn't been
Israel,
or anything else. What was it?

THE PRESIDENT: I think your premise -- in all due respect to your
question
and to you as a lifelong journalist -- is that -- I didn't want war. To
assume I wanted war is just flat wrong, Helen, in all due respect --

Q Everything --

THE PRESIDENT: Hold on for a second, please.

Q -- everything I've heard --

THE PRESIDENT: Excuse me, excuse me. No President wants war. Everything
you
may have heard is that, but it's just simply not true. My attitude about
the
defense of this country changed on September the 11th. We -- when we got
attacked, I vowed then and there to use every asset at my disposal to
protect the American people. Our foreign policy changed on that day,
Helen.
You know, we used to think we were secure because of oceans and previous
diplomacy. But we realized on September the 11th, 2001, that killers
could
destroy innocent life. And I'm never going to forget it. And I'm never
going
to forget the vow I made to the American people that we will do
everything
in our power to protect our people.

Part of that meant to make sure that we didn't allow people to provide
safe
haven to an enemy. And that's why I went into Iraq -- hold on for a
second --

Q They didn't do anything to you, or to our country.

THE PRESIDENT: Look -- excuse me for a second, please. Excuse me for a
second. They did. The Taliban provided safe haven for al Qaeda. That's
where
al Qaeda trained --

Q I'm talking about Iraq --

THE PRESIDENT: Helen, excuse me. That's where -- Afghanistan provided
safe
haven for al Qaeda. That's where they trained. That's where they plotted.
That's where they planned the attacks that killed thousands of innocent
Americans.

I also saw a threat in Iraq. I was hoping to solve this problem
diplomatically. That's why I went to the Security Council; that's why it
was
important to pass 1441, which was unanimously passed. And the world said,
disarm, disclose, or face serious consequences --

Q -- go to war --

THE PRESIDENT: -- and therefore, we worked with the world, we worked to
make
sure that Saddam Hussein heard the message of the world. And when he
chose
to deny inspectors, when he chose not to disclose, then I had the
difficult
decision to make to remove him. And we did, and the world is safer for
it.

Q Thank you, sir. Secretary Rumsfeld -- (laughter.)

Q Thank you.

THE PRESIDENT: You're welcome. (Laughter.) I didn't really regret it. I
kind
of semi-regretted it. (Laughter.)

Q -- have a debate.

THE PRESIDENT: That's right. Anyway, your performance at the Grid Iron
was
just brilliant -- unlike Holland's, was a little weak, but -- (laughter.)

Helen Thomas is the most unbiased and fair-minded reporter ever to
work in Washingon. It's unfortunate that some people are too blind or
stupid to see that.

So tell us again why do you blow yourself only on Wednesdays and Fridays
and not on Saturdays too?

Now that logic is a bit more plausible, but still if you think Helen
asking such similar loaded rhetorical gotcha questions is the mark of
being fair-minded, then you're a fuking moron!

President Creates Cabinet-Level Position To Coordinate Scandals
February 1, 2006
WASHINGTON, DC-In his State of the Union address to the nation last
night, President Bush announced a new cabinet-level position to
coordinate all current and future scandals facing his party.
"Tonight, by executive order, I am creating a permanent department
with a vital mission: to ensure that the political scandals,
underhanded dealings, and outright criminal activities of this
administration are handled in a professional and orderly fashion,"
Bush said.
The centerpiece of Bush's plan is the Department Of Corruption,
Bribery, And Incompetence, which will centralize duties now dispersed
throughout the entire D.C.-area political establishment.
The Scandal Secretary will log all wiretaps and complaints of prisoner
abuse, coordinate paid-propaganda efforts, eliminate redundant payoffs
and bribes, oversee the appointment of unqualified political donors to
head watchdog agencies, control all leaks and other high-level
security breaches, and oversee the disappearance of Iraq
reconstruction funds. He will also be responsible for issuing all
official denials that laws have been broken.
"Many of the current scandals in Washington are crucial to the success
of my priorities for the nation," Bush said. "The Department of
Corruption will safeguard these important misdeeds."
White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card characterized the president's
announcement as part of a larger effort to usher in a "new era of
scandal management."
"The entire DCBI budget will come from private donors and investors,
through an illegal slush fund," he said. "The money we'll save by
eliminating redundancies and reducing scandal-related overhead will
come back to citizens tenfold in the form of offshore corporate tax
savings."
The Scandal Secretary will choose the elected official or business
leader who will assume full responsibility for each scandal once it
reaches fruition. His department will pen all tearful apologies and
plea agreements and make all necessary arrangements for the designated
scapegoat's transition to a think tank, consultancy, law-partner
position, or, if unavoidable, cursory stint in a minimum-security
prison. Scapegoats who cannot be placed will be given oversight
positions within the Department of Corruption itself.
Congressional supporters of the post expressed hope that the new
secretary will bring a sense of order and accountability to what has
so far been a fragmented, inconsistent set of controversies.
"Every week, it feels like another new scandal breaks," said F. Tyler
Jones, a convicted felon and Texas oil executive who has been cited as
a leading candidate for a position within the new department.
"Washington needs to run a tighter ship and get all this corruption in
order. It should feel less like a weekly thing and more like once a
month."
"Quality's been going down, too," Jones said. "You can't just slap
'gate' on the end of something and call it a scandal. We need higher
standards in this country-we used to lead the world, you know."
Many conservatives have criticized Bush's proposal, saying that it
only creates more big government.
"Teapot Dome and the fraud scandals of the Grant Administration
proceeded splendidly without government oversight," National Review
columnist Jonah Goldberg said. "Officials received kickbacks and
granted favors without any knowledge beyond their circle until after
the fact. They knew what they were doing and didn't need any
oversight. We need to return to the days when unfettered capitalism
and enlightened self-interest led the way."
Bush defenders, however, said today's corruption scandals are far too
complex to be allowed to take an unregulated course.
"We can't afford to have the American people lose faith in the
government's ability to spearhead an effective scandal," TV
commentator Sean Hannity said. "The sheer number of major scandals has
gone way up in the past few years-but the level of scandal
coordination has remained at Clinton-era levels. The system is
obsolete. Plain and simple. I for one applaud Bush for bringing
corruption management into the 21st century."

conspiracy to violate election laws; and Michael Brown, who resigned
from FEMA over his criticized handling of Hurricane Katrina.

Bush is a little slow then as compared to KKKlintoon. You may recall

had what was called the "War Room"all eight years which would turn around
"Immediate Response" propaganda attacks on anyone or anything which might
threaten the emperorship and/or his empire...
