Demagogue

In an interview yesterday with Fox News, President Bush defended Tom DeLay, but he also had this to say about Jack Abramoff, the poster child for what's wrong with Washington:

"... Abramoff -- I'm not, frankly, all that familiar with a lot that's going on over at Capitol Hill, but it seems like to me that he was an equal money dispenser, that he was giving money to people in both political parties."

It lends a lot of credibility to your views, Mr. President, when you state those views right after reminding us all that you're not "all that familiar with a lot that's going on over at Capitol Hill ..."

Stated more succinctly, our president doesn't have a clue what an entire branch of government is doing. Gee, how reassuring.

At least you've got to appreciate his candor.
