Ho ho it is to laugh
I gotta be in a meeting in ten minutes but I had to share this.
On NPR this morning, some Republican congressman (I'm sorry I don't remember who it was) said that the whole thing about non-binding discussion of Why We Don't Like Bush's Surge Plan was terrible and awful because the whole world was watching this and that makes us look divided and not in agreement and etc. etc. etc.
Note that wording, friends: the whole world is watching this. The whole world with the exception of George W. Bush, that is. Who isn't really sure what time the debate is happening and after all he's got a pretty full schedule on whatever day it is anyway.
I'm off to my meeting so I don't have time to find a transcript of that W quote from yesterday. But if someone could find it for me, I'll edit this entry when I'm out of the meeting.
EDIT: Here is an interview where W responds to questions regarding watching the House debate. But for the life of me, I can't find the Bush sound bite I heard played on NPR yesterday. Thanks a bunch to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
poincaraux for the links, below.
I disagree that the debate is "stupid." I, for one, am thankful that we have another opportunity to show the world (including many parts of the U.S.) that vast numbers of Americans do not support the current administration. I'm sick and tired of being lumped into the same hell-bound handbasket as those bastards. No, this non-binding resolution might not make a difference in our current foreign policy, but does it have an impact on how the rest of the world sees us? I believe so.
