A Punchy President Meets the Press

By Dana Milbank
Wednesday, March 22, 2006; Page A02

President Bush had a senior moment midway through his news conference yesterday. Referring to an earlier question from the Los Angeles Times' Jim Gerstenzang, who has covered much of Bush's presidency, Bush looked at the veteran correspondent -- and forgot his name. "Back, to, uh, this man's question right here," he said, and then he looked down at his seating chart for a refresher before adding: "This man being Jim."

"Sorry, Jim," the president said after everybody had a chuckle at his expense. "I got a lot on my mind these days."

That he does. Bush's presidency is in trouble, his approval ratings are in the 30s, Iraq is approaching civil war, and congressional Republicans are in open rebellion. But Bush has maintained his equanimity. He may be a lame duck, but he seems to be enjoying his swim.......

1. oh he's lame, alright

but much moreso than a duck, and on sooooo many levels. :evilgrin:

3. I agree he's a lame duck,

no question. But that also worries me, you know what they say about a wounded animal. Now we get a specious package near the WH, i think these people would do anything to hold on to power. Just like a wounded animal, they'll fight back.

2. I'll Bet He Does

Probably negotiating for his home in exile and the Cayman Island bank transfers.....

4. I need to have my first cup of coffee.

I just skimmed the title of your thread and misread it. At first I thought it said "bush has lost his mind." Really, that's what I thought it said.:rofl:
Gotta go get that cuppa joe.
