BUSH CLAIMS IRAQI ELECTIONS NOT NSA STORY MAIN STORY! HA!
I copied the parts that are "extra stupid." Enjoy!

PRESIDENT BUSH: --that's important not to talk about, and the reason why is that we're at a war with an enemy that still wants to attack. I, uh--after 9/11, I told the American people I would do everything in my power to protect the country, within the law, and that's exactly how I conduct my presidency.

MR. LEHRER: Well, Mr. President, with all due respect, wouldn't you think--don't you believe that answer is going to lead people to believe that you're confirming that in fact you did this ?

PRESIDENT BUSH: We don't talk about sources and methods. Don't talk about ongoing intelligence operations. I know there's speculation. But it's important for the American people to understand that we will do--or I will use my powers to protect us, and I will do so under the law, and that's important for our citizens to understand.

MR. LEHRER: I don't want to "beat a dead horse" here, Mr. President--

PRESIDENT BUSH: Okay.

MR. LEHRER: --but the story is now all over the world.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Yeah.

MR. LEHRER: I mean, it's on the front page of the New York Times, the Washington post, every newspaper in America today, and it's going--it's the main story of the day. So--

PRESIDENT BUSH: It's not the main story of the day.

MR. LEHRER: Well, but I mean in terms of the way it's being covered--


PRESIDENT BUSH: The main story of the day is the Iraqi election.

MR. LEHRER: Right, and I'm going to get to that.

:banghead:

2. BULLSHIT!!!!
Since there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq we went there because Bush wanted to build a pipe line.As far as catching Osama,the Saudies,Bush's buddies pay him well to stay hidden.
We still do not have proof who caused 9/11.According to a former CIA agent it goes all the way back to a plan with the nazis and the muslem terrorists who have been funded by this country for many years.
Check out John Loftus web site and get the true facts!!!

3. "Within the law"?
Not if it violates the fourth ammendment to the Constitution, which it obviously does.

Sorry chimpy......time for you to resign or be impeached.

It's really that simple.

4. And he's gonna give a speech tomorrow night just to prove it....
The Iraq election is the big story if Dubya says it's the big story. Everyone don't talk about or investigate those names that were on his enemy list. That's not a story. The big story is the election in Iraq. Got it? The election in Iraq? The "spying on our own citizens even though it is stupid and illegal" is not the main story...Got it?

9. Clark's question:
I think he should also explain to the American people why he didn’t follow the procedures in the law to safeguard our liberties when he authorized the spying. What was the urgency of doing this?

So bush, why did you fail, repeat fail, to safeguard our liberties?

10. The main story will be WHAT I WANT IT TO BE.
Hey little emperor: pay attention...you don't own the msm anymore, and they don't let you call the shots anymore. Look down at your naked little dicky and you'll see why. Your fancy cowboy/aviator/president costumes don't really exist.
