Bush's Not-So-Candid Chat
A televised conversation between President Bush and American and Iraqi troops that was originally presented as a candid chat turned out to be carefully scripted to address Bush's goals for the war and the new Iraqi constitution. What do you think?
Gerald Huppmann,
Arbitrator
"This would be a major problem for the president if anybody cared anymore about whether or not the things he did were fake."
Rainey Milford,
Daycare Attendant
"Oh, so that explains the part where the Islamic fundamentalist ran in with a bomb and was single-handedly subdued by the president."
Sean Guidry,
Realtor
"It just shows that he cares enough to pretend to like the troops. That should be worth something."
