Business owner couldn’t ‘get a word in’ with Bush
The Washington Post reports:

The entrepreneur who hosted President Bush last week for a roundtable discussion on health care and small business said yesterday that he could barely get a word in as Bush opined on children’s health insurance and other health topics.

If he had, Clifton Broumand would have told the president he disagreed with him on most of it, he said.

“He answered his own questions,” said Broumand, who gave Bush a tour of Man & Machine Inc., the Landover-based medical computer accessory company he founded 25 years ago. “I thought the whole concept was to ask us, so I was a little bit frustrated. I would have liked the opportunity to give him my viewpoint, rather than him knowing the answer.“

1. That's Bush: assuming he's right on everything, ever.

2. This is important.
Bushco has convinced a lot of small business owners that Republicans are there for them. Nothing could be further from the truth. Letting people actually see and hear * up close is opening some eyes.

3. His own party described Bush as "incurious".
The King thinks he's walking around impressing everyone with his grand entrance and fine clothing.

What he doesn't know is that he's pooped himself and his regal duds are stuck in the back of his pantyhose, exposing his "accident" for all the world to see.

In short, he's showing us his ass. And it's dirty.
