quote:
Q The Attorney General is still getting a lot of criticism over the U.S. attorneys situation. Was his explanation sufficient, or is there more he needs to do to try to turn things around?
THE PRESIDENT: The Attorney General went up and gave a very candid assessment, and answered every question he could possibly answer, honestly answer, in a way that increased my confidence in his ability to do the job.
He wasn't prepared to answer about 100 questions, according to the testimony we all watched.
He misses 100 questions and that INCREASES Bush's confidence?
But it gets better...
quote:
One of the things that's important for the American people to understand is that the Attorney General has a right to recommend to me to replace U.S. attorneys. U.S. attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President. In other words, we have named them, and I have the right to replace them with somebody else. And as the investigation, the hearings went forward, it was clear that the Attorney General broke no law, did no wrongdoing. And some senators didn't like his explanation, but he answered as honestly as he could.
"he answered as honestly as he could".
Not "He answered honestly". This is an absolute here. You are either honest, or you are dishonest.
quote:
This is an honest, honorable man, in whom I have confidence.
That makes one of you, Boy Georgie!
I meant "Georgie-Boy!"
