WASHINGTON (Creators Syndicate) -- All week long in the capital, worried Republicans buzzed about George W. Bush's Sunday interview on NBC's "Meet the Press."

President Bush, under fire for not ignoring U.S. intelligence pointing to the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, defended the U.S.-led 12-year rush to war against Saddam in a broadcast interview Sunday. (A ruthless, murderous, genocidal madman and tyrant -- toppled from power: Bush, what were you thinking?) He even defended his decision to go-it-alone with 60 countries, rather than building a broad coalition of 62 countries (any coalition without the heroic French or the Germans is a 'Fraudulent Coalition' -- see Sen. John F. Kerry).

Quote of the Day by Beck_isright

[JohnHuang2]

Have a great weekend, y'all. Take care, God bless.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

That ought to be the format for a Bush or Cheney speech.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

More fun than a human being deserves to have.

great read. thanks for starting off my day in the right way.

[RottiBiz]

Fooled me again! I thought Bob Novak had had an epiphany.

Thanks for a great "Two Cents," John.

"He betrayed his country!!!!", Gore calmly said of Bush in his highly nuanced speech. I said to myself, 'Oh, no -- Bush's really finished now; Gore must think Bush's a Democrat and he's about to endorse him...'

Wh00P!! :^)

Biting satire John!!

[The Raven]

Excellent

[MeekOneGOP]

Thanks, John ! You have a great weekend too !

[maica]

You exceed yourself, JH, with this one.

I bet no one in the White House is talking to Novak these days. He does not understand the impeccable pacing of the Bush campaign.

Great writing! If I'm not attentive, your 2 cents articles suck me in, at least for a while. But when that happens the humor is all the better, and the serious side of the item is all the more memorable.

[Alamo-Girl]

Wonderful, wonderful essay! Thank you so very much!

[ntnychik]

Who needs Novak when we have you? Bravo!

[eureka!]

"In all honesty, his performance was awful -- no, gawd-awful. I'm not going to sugar-coat it. He was repetitive, way too repetitive. He seemed out of his game, struggling, yet seemingly overly-prepared, overly rehearsed, at times playing word games, firm but unable to project authority, and often noticeably irritated. This is not the Tim Russert we've come to know. "

LOL. Loved the first line too. The good part--W hasn't even started campaigning. Hehehehe...
