Bush speaks! Finally.

Now *this* is class...

Bush, in his session with reporters, pointed out that he had met with Sheehan and that she had a recent discussion with Deputy Chief of Staff Joseph Hagin and national security adviser Stephen J. Hadley at the Texas ranch. He added that he "strongly supported" the right of Sheehan and others to demonstrate, and said he understood the anguish she has experienced.

This isn't..

Sheehan arrived in Crawford on Aug. 6, four days after the president began a working vacation at his ranch, aboard a bus painted red, white and blue and emblazoned with the words "Impeachment Tour." She vowed she would camp out until Bush talked to her, but she left last Thursday for California after her mother suffered a stroke.

Did anyone else hear in the news that the deputy Chief of Staff and the National Security Advisor had met with Sheehan? I didn't. Guess it makes a better story to write about how Dubya is ignoring her, eh?

He's got better things to do than muck around with mindless idiots.

Note the line in the article about how protesters were "demonstrating" outside of a venue where Dubya was speaking to war veterans. That's real respectful of our veterans, eh?

Oh. Whoops, forgot for a second that it's not about those who served and died in the war. It's about getting their faces on the news and throwing tantrums. Silly me.
