Maybe press briefings will be worth watching now...from your new press secretary (hat tip, AMERICAblog):
– “George Bush has become something of an embarrassment.” [11/11/05]
– “The president doesn’t seem to give a rip about spending restraint.” [The Detroit News, 12/28/03]
– “At one point last week, he stunned a friendly audience by barking out absurd and inappropriate words, like a soul tortured with Tourette’s.” [8/25/00]
– “He recently tried to dazzle reporters by discussing the vagaries of Congressional Budget Office economic forecasts, but his recitation of numbers proved so bewildering that not even his aides could produce a comprehensible translation. The English Language has become a minefield for the man, whose malaprops make him the political heir not of Ronald Reagan, but Norm Crosby.” [8/25/00]
I'm just kidding. This will be a disaster like everything else, but it was a funny thought.
