TBTM: Press conference re-cap by John Buchanan
It was reminiscent of Richard Nixon's meltdown in the spring of 1974, in his infamous 'I am not a crook' response to a scathing query from Dan Rather, at a Watergate press conference staged at a National Association of Broadcasters convention in Houston. As he sweat profusely from his brow, and fumbled for a response, Nixon brought himself down in a fashion worthy of Shakespeare's King Lear.

When asked whether he would apologize to the American people for his administration's failure to protect them on 9/11, George W. Bush evaded the question and failed to give a genuine answer. When asked whether he had made mistakes since 9/11, he evaded the question and failed to give a genuine answer. When pummeled by the final question, from the usually ignored National Public Radio correspondent, he evaded the question and failed to give an honest response.

1. Excellent commentary
and can you believe the non answer he gave about testifying with Cheney? Boy did he need cue cards on that one.

2. One difference of opinion
Nixon is not a crook, when compared to this boy. Junior makes Nixon look good, and Reagan look like Einstein...

For once I felt sorry for Bush, truly a puppet... and hopefully he will go down in November, actually not hopefully, BUSH will go down.
