Tony Snow challenged on Bush hypocrisy

over an acceptable level of violence. This was the exchange at today’s White House press briefing:

QUESTION: In October of 2004 John Kerry said, We have to get to the place where we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they’re a nuisance. The president said he couldn’t disagree more. Cheney called this naive and dangerous, and part of the pre-9/11 mindset. So does the president now have a pre-9/11 mindset?

SNOW: No, the president does not have a pre-9/11 mindset. And the fact is — I’ll have to go back and take a look, but my recollection is that there was an attempt to, kind of, minimize some of the security challenges. But I don’t want to put words in Senator Kerry’s mouth without looking back at the 2004 debate.

1. Of course bush wouldn't think like Senator Kerry

or act like him either, or take bullets for his country in combat or actaully do something FOR our country. Oh no tony, no way you would want to get the story wrong or distort anything after all you are an alum of faux.

2. Snow couldn't answer yesterday, either

Someone asked him what an "acceptable" level of violence might look like, and Snow said it was a good question, but he didn't have an answer.

Another well-thought out, extensively reviewed and workable plan from the Bush administration. Of course, to anyone with a mentality above a rather dull four-year-old, it looks like more seat-of-the-pants flailing by a bunch of dopes.

3. I'm surprised - usually the reporters manage to forget all that was said in 2004.

I'm still trying to recover from the jawdrop last year when George Will said Kerry was right about HOW to fight terrorism.

4. I don't think its too much to expect

for a man's highly paid spokesperson to know what that man means when he says something. Obviously it would be equivalent to blowing up abortion clinics and burning down gay bars because those are acceptable levels of violence to bush's base.

5. "I don't want to put words in Senator Kerry's mouth."

Although I just did.

That trick never gets old for them, does it?
