Bush: Cheney Is A ‘Half-Glass-Full’ Kinda Guy
Last week, Vice President Cheney said that the United States has “had enormous successes and we will continue to have enormous successes” in Iraq. This claim contradicted President Bush’s speech two weeks ago, where he said the “situation in Iraq is unacceptable to the American people — and it is unacceptable to me.”

Today on NPR, senior correspondent Juan Williams asked Bush whether there’s a “conflicting message” between Bush and Cheney. Bush brushed him off, saying that Cheney is a “person reflecting a half-glass-full mentality.” (We’re assuming he meant “glass half full.”) Listen here:

Transcript:

WILLIAMS: Well another question about Vice President Cheney. He said last week that– here I’m quoting, “We’ve encountered enormousness successes and we continue to have successes in Iraq.” Two weeks ago you said, “There haven’t been enough successes in Iraq.” So it seems like there is a conflicting message there.

BUSH: Oh I don’t think so; I think the VP is a person expressing a half-glass-full mentality. And that is, he’’s been able to look at — as have I and I hope other Americans have — the fact that the tyrant was removed, 12 million people voted and an Iraqi constitution is in place that is a model for — and is unique — for the Middle East.

9. I posted this on another thread about this comment

From an old SNL sketch about Nixon's last days.

Nixon says: Remember that army hospital I visited in Vietnam? There was a young enlisted man from Des Moines, Iowa. He had been hit in the eye with a surface-to-air missile. And he only had four pints of blood left in his body, and as youknow, a man normally has eight pints of blood in his body. Now, the pessimists in this country would say that that boy was half-empty, while I like to think he was half-full!
