Bush's New Years Resolution For 2004 (UGH!)
President Bush shot quail on a hunting trip Thursday but dined on beef, and encouraged Americans to do the same despite concern over mad cow disease. "I ate beef today, and will continue to eat beef," he said.

Bush spent 10 minutes of New Year's Day answering questions from reporters about the first U.S. case of mad cow disease, postwar Iraq's struggle with debt and recent assassination attempts against the president of Pakistan. He shared one New Year's resolution: Strengthen his pained knee so he can start jogging again.

If you were the most powerful person in the world, what would your New Year's resolution be?

How about try a little harder to prevent your staff from outing CIA Operatives?

2. Wow, that's pretty revealing of the man's mindset.
Not that we needed or wanted more revealed.

3. well, he did say some time ago
... that he thought it was a sad thing that he couldn't spend as much time running as he'd like. All the tragic situations in the world to comment on, and he picked that.

5. Well, he's lied before... I want to see video clips of him eating beef
EVERY TIME and even then I wouldn't believe it;s probably beef substitute or personally-grown cattle, separated from the corporate farms...

7. Honestly, Couldn't His Handlers Come Up With Something
for him to say that would make him APPEAR to be concerned with the world around him in terms other than his own well being.

8. Wasn't his New Years resolution last year
too eat less cheeseburgers? What a self serving self important pissant! The local media whores quoted him as saying that hunting was a great way to celebrate the first day of the new year. Sounds appropriate for George. Start the New Year off by killing anything that moves. Why does he always think it's only just about him? Time of your life, eh, George?
