from the transcript of remarks at Camp David today:

Q First question, addressed to both Presidents. There is an opinion that Russian-American relations have, nevertheless, a declarative character. Have you given any specific instructions to your governments the -- as you discussed it in your communique?

PRESIDENT BUSH: Yes.

Q And the second question --

PRESIDENT BUSH: No, we only got one question, please. You've already asked two, one to me and one to him. Now you want to ask four, two to me and -- no, forget it.

Q Two parts --

PRESIDENT BUSH: Oh, two parts of the same question?

Q Because my colleague asked two questions, on Iraq and Iran. (Laughter.)

PRESIDENT BUSH: Okay. (Laughter.) I knew she set a bad precedent. (Laughter.)

Q So the next question is for you, Mr. President Bush. Sir, the question is, as you know, as you probably do know, Mr. President, that visa practices implemented by your embassies abroad, including by your embassy in Russia, with respect to those people who would like to travel to the United States, and that does not add sympathies to -- does not add sympathies. And do you know that even journalists who came here to cover your visit had to undergo -- undergo a special interview at the embassy in Moscow? And do you expect any changes to take place in these practices?

And as a follow-up question, does my question -- will my --

PRESIDENT BUSH: No wonder you got interviewed. (Laughter.)

Q And as a follow-up question, can I be assured that my question will not lead to a denial of visa for me, personally? (Laughter.)

PRESIDENT BUSH: No. Not yet. (Laughter.) No, the President raised the issue of visas. He expressed concern that our visa policy was cumbersome and didn't expedite the travel of legitimate journalists and business people and artists and educators. Our intention is not to slow down visits. Our intention is to make sure that visitors who come are reasonable people. What is happening, is that policy -- the visa policy changed after September the 11th, 2001, and we're trying to make it as modern and as efficient as possible. And we've got some work to do.

And it was so long that you asked your first question, I'll try to remember what it was.

1. Yup. Definitely a forked tongue.

And a two-face.

Notice how he doesn't even answer the ONE question he grants. All he does is make sarcastic jokes. He does have a captive audience, after all.

I'm just reminded of the CounterPunch article I just read before reading this post, where the author (can't remember his name) actually calls Bush a Psychopath.

Gotta Love him.

2. I said this on another thread....

but when I was watching this I SWEAR that in addition to the comments posted here..Bush also turned aside and said,"somebody shut that guy up". Ths camera left him just as he said it..and it was quick and barely audible,but I am sure I heard it.
