So it's okay to out a CIA agent - just don't get caught.

Isn't that what Bush is saying now? He doesn't care what his staff does just so long as they aren't convicted of it.

1. No, don't commit a crime. See, a blowjob between consenting

adults is a crime...

[bballny]

3. Bush

doesn't worry about breking that law. Laura doesn't do those dirty things

[jeanarrett]

2. I think he said don't get charged or convicted.

[Stephanie]

4. "if someone committed a crime"

And they haven't committed a crime unless they are found guilty to have done so - been convicted.

Q Mr. President, you said you don't want to talk about an ongoing investigation, so I'd like to ask you, regardless of whether a crime was committed, do you still intend to fire anyone found to be involved in the CIA leak case? And are you displeased that Karl Rove told a reporter that Ambassador Joe Wilson's wife worked for the Agency on WMD issues?

PRESIDENT BUSH: We have a serious ongoing investigation here. (Laughter.) And it's being played out in the press. And I think it's best that people wait until the investigation is complete before you jump to conclusions. And I will do so, as well. I don't know all the facts. I want to know all the facts. The best place for the facts to be done is by somebody who's spending time investigating it. I would like this to end as quickly as possible so we know the facts, and if someone committed a crime, they will no longer work in my administration.

6. Just read how that dumbass talks. . .

"The best place for the facts to be done is by somebody who's spending time investigating it."

What's that supposed to mean?

Why doesn't he just say "we're attempting to 'fix' the facts around this one too?!

[jedicord]

7. "We have a serious ongoing investigation here. (Laughter)."

Tell me it's the press laughing here, not Bush*.

If it's Bush*, then he is seriously deranged. If it's the press, they've finally caught on to the talking points of this administration.

5. Right, you can get caught as long as you don't get convicted

it's fine with George.

[jeanarrett]

8. Exactly. He's never been taken to task for anything he

got caught doing.
