6. I thought I had imagined this when I heard it on the radio..

Bushie segued into a riff about 9-11 in the same breath as talking abt Schiavo..he did not miss a beat between sentences!

"The essence of civilization is that the strong have a duty to protect the weak.

In cases where there are serious doubts and questions, the presumption should be in the favor of life.

The most solemn duty of the American president -- come on up, guys --is to protect the American people.

Since September 11th, 2001, we've taken bold and vigorous steps to prevent further attacks and overcome emerging threats."

I guess 9-11 worked so well during the election, he mentions it on auto-pilot. Or maybe, just maybe, it was that unflattering report on the Iraqi WMD intelligence released today. "Dead Wrong" according to the Times. Perhaps * hopes people will think they are talking abt the passing of Ms. Schiavo.
