Every offhand word, every spontaneous remark, every comment informed more by emotion than calculation risks profound consequences. Consequences that can be mitigated or amplified by the biased press, depending on the party of the office holder.

You said it. That's the game-changer, right there. President Bush's every pronunciation, his every syllable, was scrutinised and criticised by the biased media, while Hussein's are only lauded when presentable, and whitewashed or excused when not. When did they ever say of a remark by President Bush, "well, the position doesn't come with an owner's manual"? And President Bush's extemporaneous remarks were much more polished than the teleprompter-in-chief's are, and the media has the gall to praise his "fluency" for being able to read from it! They are so over-the-top with their propaganda, Goebbels could take lessons.
