Why do we have reports? Just hang on every BushCo word, instead!
I'm starting to wonder if Bush actually allows ANYTHING to be said in Washington. Here's the latest:

"The government will not publish a report it commissioned on bilingual education - and critics say that's because the Bush administration disagrees with the findings, which cast doubt on the efficacy of teaching immigrant children through English-only lessons.

The U.S. Education Department appointed the National Literacy Panel, a non-partisan group of university researchers, in May 2002 to do a two-year study taking "a good, hard look at the existing research" on bilingual education. At the time, Russ Whitehurst, assistant secretary for Education Research and Improvement, noted that the No Child Left Behind education reform law "puts a strong emphasis on using education practices and programs based on sound, scientifically-based research.""

What is this - the 9 BILLIONTH report der Fuehrer refused to allow released? So let's just set up a tape recorder in Bush's office and let him mumble all day about what he wants us to think. No inconvenient facts to strain our minds with or defer Alzheimers. Just all Bush, all day.

Last I heard, freedom of speech was guaranteed in the Constitution. Oh, wait. Bush doesn't believe in the Constitution. He makes up his own laws as he goes along.

Me think's der Fuehrer needs a new brain, and I'm not talking about Rove (who I now consider Bush's lobotomy anyway).

1. Stenographers, not reporters.
And don't you ask them to leave their offices on a hot day or cancel their pedicures or miss a meal; and don't expect them to actually write, could cause that tunnel thing w/their hands; and please, give them a break, "it's a hard job, hard" being an over paid Quisling. And, if it's windy, all bets are off, that haircut cost $110 dollars!
