On Optimistic Rugs
Here's the transcript of an interview with the President, at the White House Web site. Apparently. At first, it seems too ridiculous to be genuine: Dubya conducts a German correspondent on a rather ludicrous tour of the Oval Office. Some people will think that he comes across as a nice guy. Others will ask, as did the party who sent the link to Ms NOLA's boss, "where were his handlers?" To me, it's evidence that he has just enough intelligence to recognize the need for plausible excuses. I wouldn't say that he seems determined to go down with the ship, but I expect that he'll stand by while the ship goes down if that's the price of executing his policies.
