What's with these questions?

[Girlieman]

I just got home -- got held up in the Lincoln Tunnel mess. Can I blame Bush for that?

Listening to debate on my walkman. What's with the questions? Softball questions for Bush, except for the last one about a trillion dollar hole in Social security. And the first question was about foreign policy (i.e., security)

I also get the feeling listening on the radio that Bush is getting input from somewhere. There are abrupt changes in subjects after a short pause. Maybe there is something to the bulge theory.
