SERIOUS question:Do you think Bush, as of 6pm, KNOWS about the NSA ruling?
Edited on Thu Aug-17-06 05:50 PM by jackstraw45
I'll bet they haven't told him yet.

He gets all his news in the morning from a few people and the weak-kneed WH staff is scared to give him bad news. Bubble boy indeed.

From an Oct. 2003 Helen Thomas column:

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/143851_thomas15.html

"President Bush recently gave an hour-long exclusive interview to Fox TV anchor Brit Hume, who tossed him a series of softball questions.

Among them, Bush was asked how he gets his news. Answer: He relies on briefings by chief of staff Andrew Card and national security affairs adviser Condoleezza Rice.

....Bush is spoon-fed the relevant news from his staff. Top aides usually know the buttons not to push when it comes to bad news. More often they will tell the president what he wants to hear -- the good news if there is any. Or they may just sugar coat the news that is tougher to swallow."

Or from Feb 2006:


Bush in a bubble: Is he cut off from political reality?
From Iraq to Katrina to the ports flap, many observers view him as insular.

6. I'm speculating that Gonzo and the Rover have mentioned it in some
way, i.e., 'We're gonna try to provide some cover for you, but you may want to get lawyered up again.' Yeah, I think that someone told him and that someone(s) told him just how it would be 'taken care of.'
